Thanks Rob and yes I am. It's actually a very fun game, in my opinion it's one of the better games out of Bally during that mid 80's era of cost cutting.
I'm looking to build a new cabinet for it as well. They used chipboard for these cabinets and this particular one has a bit of swelling from water damage and the head box has a crack in its base so it all feels a bit loose. A nice new solid birch wood ply cabinet will be the end goal but I'll probably just get the playfield back in so I can play it for awhile first.

Can you get cab decals for this title? If not what's the game plan for the new cab?

No cant buy them, I have a friend helping me with the decals. The cabinet will be as per original just built with better materials.

A bit more progress over the last few evenings and I've started to get the wire harness back on and assemblies back in place. Some I'd already stripped down and rebuilt and others I still need to take apart but I'll get the harness back down with globe holders and switches soldered off before I strip the remaining assemblies down. I've also started my least favourite job,  re-pinned connectors. I've only done a couple so far but 2 or 3 is all I can stand doing at one time.

Dunno what you're talking about. I find repinning very therapeutic. I tends to lower my blood pressure and puts me in a great frame of mind......sorry Adam I always get that and drinking bourbon mixed up........ you're right its a painful job

It's been enjoyable but slow going on the playfield. I'm almost there now though.

Underside is finished.

Here's the new clear plastics from my other thread.



Again but with the top plastics on.

There is a reflection from the plastics on to the playfield in this photo which makes it look like a line. It's not though, the playfield clear is just so smooth and shiny.



The pop bumper caps were busted and siliconed together so I had these decals done.



Another picture with the decals on new caps





Another couple of photos just for the hell of it.
Not much to go now.
