For some dumb reason, I forgot to paint the splatter effect on the cabinet. Mask up the cabinet and after a short session, the cabinet now looks as it should. Some other small issues to attend to, and finally, FINALLY, the game is done. I'm REALLY proud of this restoration. It looks and plays like new.


I've got a lot of photos of the completed machine to add, so there will be a few updates to follow - just finished photos. Enjoy !

All metal parts were re-plated and polished. Even parts that are not seen.

Someone is going to be super happy and realise it IS worth the wait!
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.
