Paint touch ups done and inserts levelled so parking this for now until the weather is better and I can clearcoat it :thumbs:

Congrats mate :thumbs: We both have new Gottlieb EM projects to play with :excited

Yeah I noticed the price had been changed on the Bowling Queen, don't like that! Looking forward to picking up Pyramid, I'll stick up a shop log thread when I do :thumbs:

I was watching both of those Bank-A-Ball's and agree that the non-worker is strong money but the other one isn't too fair off IMHO, if you could get it for a grand I think you'd be good. Outside of the iconic games there are plenty of EM's that are worth north of £1k, take that Hit The Desk on...

Video of my first test of custom Flash Gordon sounds is up. Still a bit of work todo but I do like the pop bumper call out :rofl:

All back together after it's clean up and the Geeteoh board is in along with some new speakers thanks to @new forest pinball :thumbs: I think the custom sound package it comes with can be improved upon so I've downloaded music, films quotes and sounds and am having a play about in Audacity...

I might be slightly biased seeing as I did it up but as I said to you yesterday, based on it's condition and the work done it's £1500 IMHO :thumbs:

@Biff just to confirm mate, it's got a new CPU board from Jim @myPinballs in it, not a Pascal board :thumbs: There some videos on my Youtube channel from when I did this up, feel free to link them in your For Sale post:

This arrived today so I know what I'll be playing later :D From a seller on eBay who makes cart mod versions of games for the Master System that were either unreleased or only came out in Japan for the Mk 3 etc. In this case the Game Gear version of Shinobi which has awesome music by Yuzo...

How about some Mars God Of War :thumbs:

Got a Geeteoh board coming for my 2nd favourite game of all time so thought I should also give it a mini shop out. I haven't really done anything to this since I restored it many years ago. It'll need a clean plus new clear rubbers and I'm going to swap out the GI for LED's and see how it looks...

Done a first lot of touch ups on the black keylines round the inserts and the first lot of clear is on to start levelling them out. Had a few issues with paint bleed so had to wipe a few off and will tackle that tomorrow.

It should be the same flipper as the bottom two, the ribbed one :thumbs: You're supposed to be able to trap up on the upper flipper to shoot the bowl ramp.

Gone as far as I can with the magic eraser cleaning so it's time to break out the paints :thumbs:I also need to level the inserts so got some clear and pipettes ordered.

Looks pretty good that does mate :thumbs: hows the backglass?

@Boonitch if you're looking to do a re-theme then I'd suggest going for a Bally, Williams or Gottlieb game :thumbs: I used to own a Sonic Star Wars and they use all their own proprietary board set and lots of other parts which are unobtanium these days. They also use a plastic playfield (like a...

I think the time this game spent in the swamp being unplayed might have done the playfield a big favour (the metal work not so much) :thumbs: I did a light first pass with the magic eraser and it's already looking loads better :D These first two pics show a before and after of one of the light...

Finished stripping the playfield and it looks promising although I did find quite a lot of remnants from a previous playfield glass :rofl: Gave it a quick hoover and then took a couple of pics so I can keep track of how much this can be cleaned up and improved. The first pic below is just...

Bit of a general update on this thread and a change of plan :D After making it to Pinfest last year and then smoking out the main room on the Saturday when a pop bumper coil locked on, this has been tombstoned at my Dads ever since. The opportunity to pick up a nice Spin Out backglass has...

You're correct @andy the EBD and FB2 came from me :thumbs: @Ross Hamilton your old Fathom (and before that was @Sven Normansson) is still here with me mate :D
