Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated.

And here are the final images of the completed machine.

Siderails of cabinet were regrained using scotchbrite, with new nails installed.  As mentioned earlier in the thread, there was not much to do for the playfield.  I did repaint the wooden rails on the playfield, and for the spinner, I created a new spinner decal and repainted it.

Overall, again a lot of work, but very happy with the results.

To say you are extremely talented would be an understatement.
If a photo says a thousand words, your photos definately impress.
What a great effort and an amazing end result.

I take my hat off to anyone who has the talent and dedication to get those results.
Our forum has some world class pinball restorers.

I also really like the look and feel of all your other machines. The era of pinnies with chrome/high metal finish coin doors represents pinball and its iconic personalities the best.

Thankyou for sharing the photos. It's threads like this that impress me the most. Dam nice machine !

I can honestly say after buying pin's from Steve, I have seen most of
 steve's machines & the creme of d'e creme of his collection is Embryon & Fathom which are in amazing condition.
But in saying that all his games are in new/nearly in box condition !
