Some Cabinet work on this update..

The front door is in good condition. The door skin is straight and will come up looking great.




Love the coin door inserts ..... just where exactly do you think this pin came from?  I don't recognise this currency.




The door skin was regrained (as per factory). A new lock and coin insert plastics (NOS USA) are installed. The door hinge and frame were regrained. The bolts are buffed, lock down bar assy rebuilt, lock down bar regrained and new beer seal installed. Finally, the ball shooter hardware was buffed and new springs, clip ans washers installed. The legs and legbolts are temporary for now. I'm really pleased with the cleaned and completed front on the game.




What a beautiful looking front end to the game!  Really nice.  Some will ignore the front, but I think it's where the game begins to draw attention.  If it's overlooked, probably not a big deal, but IF it's done right - then what a difference and what an eye opener.

Where do you usually source your coin door inserts?  I am looking to replace inserts on a few of my pins, and in the midst of searching for a good source.  PBR has a few, Marco has lots of variety (but silly shipping cost).
