Geez thats a good job, Boots - Do you have the restore documented ?

Hmm
I am a bit slack when it comes to that sort of thing, I just get carried away with doing the job and forget to take photos.
It probably took me about 4-5 months to clean up the machine, working on it when I had spare time. I made the spray templates by tracing a photo of the side of the machine in Autocad, then printed it full size and glued it to 4mm mdf.
I then jigsawed out the outline and filed it smooth and straight with overlaps between the black and red. The playfield was pretty good once I removed the old mylar and only needed some touchups around the pop-bumpers. All new parts on the playfield from PBR. Electronically it is in very good shape and apart from cleaning the connectors I didn't have to intially do much. Later on I had to do some work on the power supply (caps and grounding).
