This is one of my all time favourite games. I purchased my game about 18 months ago and started the restoration pretty much straight away. I became frustrated with this restoration a number of times and had to leave it for periods of time before I was ready to get back to it. I had a little accident at the bottom of the playfield using the Treasure Cove Kit for the first time (which was 100% my fault, nothing to do with the kit which is brilliant) and I also found trying to match up the fluoro orange on the game in the top section of the playfield very difficult. These were probably the main reasons why this has taken ages along with the fact that I found it not an easy game to shop. I found that most of the machine screws had loc-tite on them in the T-nuts , and most broke off when I unscrewed them. Also, the coffee cup, although a great toy is a pain to remove and put back.
I purchased new plastics, backboard decal, target decals, targets, flipper kits, posts and bumper caps. I may purchase a new ramp set in future.
Some photos of the game when I received it and during the tear down.
