Looks good!

I'm unfortunately sidetracked on my project. I've been selling an estates worth of pinballs for a friends wife since early 2009, and got a buyer for his MB. So, I had to fix all the stuff that was wrong with it, and unfortunately, the MB is gonna be at least another weeks worth of evenings before it's ready to go!

Hi,

Is there any way to hide the wires that come out of the bowl? It always looks a little unfininished to me.

It looks great, may shout myself a new bowl as well. I need to order the polisher first.

Great job.

Gordo....

I've yet to see a cover for that area. I guess one could be made.

All the remaining tweaking and testing have been done and I've moved it into the gamesroom. I've very pleased with the outcome. The new owner has a new set of plastics to replace the broken ones. The games plays really well. Definitely an under rated title.

Here's the finished Snack Bar repair ;





General Playfield shots (just need instruction cards) ;











No Flash





The final product






Very pleased !

Thanks for the kind words - Like all machines, I enjoyed working on it thoroughly. As I finish off the Pin*Bot, I will be working on some rare EMs and an SS or two.

I know the new owner will love this machine, and I hope he picks it up before I have to shop it out again  #@#
