Huge difference...very pleased with the result.

It has a lot more work done, I just lost the hard drive with updates, but recent photos will fill in the gaps. It has come a long way.

Hey Nino,
Just catching up with your restoration post, enjoying the read, very inspirational.
I'm also looking at doing some PF touch ups and will certainly use some of your techniques.
I might need to scan some of the existing artwork as well, so I was just wondering what type of
scanner your using. I can see it's a HP but I haven't seen one like that before (post #17)?
Thanks

Thanks for you kind words. This restoration has taken the longest in my history of restoration work, but it started out as just a simple job that I wanted to continually improve on. The entire playfield will have been repainted - so I'm thinking it will be presented as almost a new playfield. Considering it is a "Holy Grail" - it deserved the full treatment. I appreciate and acknowledge the owner's patience. It has been one hell of a journey, but it will be the best Wedgehead I think I will ever restore.

Scanner is a HP4760. Old technology, and very hard to track down. But it does the job for me perfectly.
