Talk about pressure, does it seem hot in here??

Just going through the checklist:
1. know what tools & chemicals needed, just need to purchase - check
2. know decals are available if required re: Marty - check
3. pretty clued up on the method & procedure - check
4. psyched up for the task (well close enough) - check
5. shoulder to cry on when things turn shit re: Nino - check

Yep I think I'm ready. Will attempt in a couple of weeks or so and start a small thread. Got to do a little bit of home improvements ie. painting and get the carpet removed/floors polished. So a lot of moving furniture around, and hotel stays.

Last update for the Terminator.  Ramps came back today.  They are perfect.  Awesome chrome job and finish it off very nicely.

Nothing left to do on it now.  Pinball pro sound system is in, playfield finished, ramps done, electrics done.

Big thanks to Mark for his assistance and Greg (RTBB) for the LED's which just makes the game perfect and big thanks to Nino, Wotto and Retropin for advice and the rest of the crew here!

Big  :D to Wonder for the teeth

Now for some final pics!

Finally...

Last shot very difficult to take.  One LED is not shown but is working.  Unfortunately you cant get the full effect of the #89 flashers, but blinding is an understatement!

Gotta be happy with that - all the hard work has certainly paid off.

Yep it sure did.  I am quite happy with the result.  The first resto was just to clean it up, so it was more playable.  But now, it plays 100%, fast, smooth and looks a lot neater and much better with the classic-arcades decals too.

Looks great Marty, did you have any luck chasing up a RH sling plastic?

That is disapointing mate, its the only little thing that lets your restoration down.  Good luck searching, one will pop up somewhere
