Nice work so far, will follow your progress with interest. If you find a source for the ball gates at each of the return lanes, please let me know as my project game is missing these too.

What’s the missing ball gates look like ?

Excellent work ! Replacing the lower back panel is tedious, but needs to be done. Takes a lot of time, but worth it in the end. Like with all restores - take your time.


A tip with Fathom and Centaur - Be CAREFUL once you have painted the cabinet as the top ball gate WILL chip off a small section of the headbox trim. This can happen raising and lowering the cabinet.


Keep up the good work !

@ddtoys here are some photos showing both gates at the flipper return lanes. I'm in need of both and I believe pinoffski would too based on his photos.
