I bought a Fishtales in in pretty awful condition the cabinet was especially shot having been subject to severe water damage. strange thing the play field was in above average condition and with a couple of hours of fettling the machine worked perfectly. I tried to source a second hand cabinet but no luck Then I heard about this guy Matty in Stratford upon Avon who builds cabinets from scratch. You take the old one over to him and he reverse engineers a new one. So 3 weeks later he delivered the new one and what a good job he made of it. Now I haven't yet done anything with it so I can't say if the holes etc are all drilled in the right place but on first sight it looks right. No MDF either in the main cabinet or the back box just solid ply wood. Its fully jointed and must be the heaviest Bally Williams cabinet ever made, all it needs is a good sanding, primer and its ready for painting and the decals. I'm very very impressed especially as the total cost was only £420.
I don't do shop logs but I will update everyone on how well the Cab + B/B work in putting everything back together for I'm sure as a new supplier to pinball there might be some further interest
