What's a Christmas break?  No weekends off or annual leave for me during December and January.

Don't worry Blair, I'll probably drink your share of beer over the holidays anyway.  **)

MM ground up restoration.

New cab decals, new playfield swap, new ramps, new plastics set, new castle, etc.

Will start the project in the New Year as my chrome/gold plating place I use is shutting down over the Xmas/New Year break and I have a number of parts to be plated that I don't want to get held up on during the rebuild.

I'll be repairing a Capcom Airborne over the Christmas break for some people locally and looks like I'll also be giving the playfield a good clean and general service. Repaired a Twilight Zone yesterday and now wish I had that in my garage over the holidays....#pinLust

PM is probably on the harder side too - but don't worry, if you are careful and strategic it's not hard, and I'll have mine available to help if need be. There's a couple of things to know when you do this, let me know when you are ready and I'll post or point to a guide on the things to do.

My pinball project is to stop the wife wasting money at the shops over the whole Xmas period, thus leaving my funds alone n available next year for me to buy a new Stern or so.
Plan on adding full LEDS to a few different machines, playing lots of games whilst the wifes parents visit for a whole 6 weeks at Xmas..... @@^

Maybe start on my 1978 Williams Phoenix full restoration.
