Thanks very much guys. This ones been on the go for a while but I'm enjoying bringing it back to life.

Great job there mate, looking good. Did you make sure to scratch/skuff up the lamp holders where you soldered the braid wire? That way you get good contact and adhesion to the metal plate.

Thanks Rob. Gave the lamp holders all a scuff and have triple checked the solder has taken. All looks good, hopefully no issues there.

Pretty much finished the playfield now. Just have to re-pin a few connectors while it's still out of the cabinet and it's ready to go back in for testing. Once I'm happy everything works and plays well, I'll start on the cabinet.

The apron and shooter gauge reinstalled after striping back, repainting, new decals printed and installed. A local sign writer did the new decal for me.

Looks great mate well done

very nice work

apron looks perfect. Did you do the art or the sign writer? Either way the artwork looks spot on from my angle. Better than the expensive crap you can get os and its supposed to be licensed.

Sign writer did the art. He did a great job too, it really looks perfect in the flesh and now that pinball rescue can't do the Bally apron decals I thought this was a better way to go than the OS option. As far as I could see though, nobody's produced a Kings of Steel apron decal for sale anyway so I probably didn't have much choice.

Hadn't touched this for awhile but got back into it again in the past couple of weeks. All the connectors are now done (thank god) and the back box light board has been rebuilt.

Action shot! 


Finished door




That's it for now, just waiting on a new cabinet at the moment. The original cabinet was chipboard and has swollen up from water damage on a few panels so a new one is being built. This one will be Birchwood ply which will be a lot better.

Nice work Adam. Underrated game. Will play like new

New Birchwood ply cabinet almost finished, just the the grill in the back box to be cut in and I can pick it up. This will be so much better than the original swollen chipboard cabinet.
