Cool. Underneath the crud, those inserts aren't too bad. Better than mine. I just love ft. Think I might treat mine to a redecalling.
 
Big fan of FT here too, considered buying this one for a set of spares.
Good luck with the refurb, it's a great game and it's all about the super jackpots!
 
Well only had a little bit of time on it.
Just taken a bucket load of nails ,screws and brackets of that corner to prep for re gluing

Looking forward to seeing a full and in depth restore, mainly because I'd like to get a restoration project for my next pin.
 
Just look at the colour of the cab under the original start button ...
 
Cab is now all solid :clap:
No more in thinking the front of this machine is going to drop on my feet
;)
Going to sort all the holes and knocks and dents out when I do the re decal .

Hopefully just bought a caster for the ball launch ;)

Now taking one item of at a time and start cleaning them up :)
