I have my Gilligan's Island to do in the near future so I will watch what you do with yours.
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

As usual, I forgot to take pics...I remembered after removing the old decals, sanding and priming...

And then remembered to take a shot of the head box, but forgot the main cab.

This is the VERY FIRST time I have done late model game decal replacement. So I was a little nervous, and used the "wet" (whimp) method.

A very sad coin door. I did have a spare somewhere, but couldn't find it, so decided to give it a go restoring this one. Came up OK I reckon.

Someone has taken a lighter I suspect to the DMD panel artwork. Luckily there are spares for this.
