All mechs fit including complete new flippers and coils
When I test played it on arrival I noticed the gofers didn’t work correctly on strip down noticed several things wrong first thing incorrect coil to drop gofer way too powerful blue one so correct one now fit when I fully stripped the mechs which are a pig to strip noticed 2 problems the main one being a broken spring on the shaft this forces the gofer forward so it locks on pop up this is why it would never stay up the other thing was the shaft was also broken where gofer mounts so new spring and shaft both parts hard to find springs came from Marco and shaft from pinball Center as always pinball Center report a load of **** shaft way to thick wouldn’t go through coil sleeve so had to machine it down and also holes for roll pins way too small so had to be drilled out but all worked out in the end
The original slam ramp was on a poor state so a new one fit with new posts New Mylar fit under ramp I noticed the new one doesn’t fit in the same place even when adjusted as far as it will go I thought this may interfere with the shot but on play test apparently not 3 holes on one in 2 games
The spinning wheel decals on these have always seen better days so on with a new one take note as you need to get it i the correct place you can see on the pics there is a line on the disk and a mark on the decal
Playfield all done just a few bits and bats on the cab to finish now
Backbox cleaned and leded also back glass cleaned
I love NGG. This is going to be a beauty
Be finished this week and off to tilt when fully tested

I have only used this place once, they sent me a green shooter spring that does not have the power to launch the ball, side rail screws which are way too small and the quality of the decal set was shocking, I thought it was all genuine Stern products, but was a load of rubbish they sent me which also ended up in the bin.
Correct speaker panel now fit got to keep kenny Taylor happy
The side rails had massive dents in due to the back box dropping on them I have lots of these in good nick left over from full restoration jobs so a better set fit if anybody can recommend a better way to remove the old tape other than the hair dryer I am all ears
All cleaned off and new tape on also replaced the back box hinges as one was bent god knows how these get bentAll done with some new flipper buttons fit too
I always like to change flipper buttons when I get a new (to me) machine. Nothing worse than the thought of it coming from some pub where people nip for a slash in between games
Sweet Chris !!!
I remember when I done my NGG there was a decal available to cover wear under the slam ramp, it looked good once fitted but not sure it stood the test of time as I moved it on soon after! I'm sure I also fitted some round cushion things under the ramp to stop it impacting on the playfield, the things you put on kitchen cupboard doors, again not too sure how they panned out either.
I was told that a hair dryer wasn't hot enough and it had to be a heat gun. I don't have a working heat gun so I sprayed on WD40 and did a lot of tedious scraping.
19mm expensive stuff at £100 for 30 metres but once it on it’s not coming off cheep stuff always pops off after a bit
I don’t think there is any easy way to remove it unless you buy new
Another great looking pin from @Chrisb although the one I bought from him as mine has the powdercoated legs and brackets which really set it off IMO
Yours is nicer than this one Neil
Best crack on next one to do
Cheers 5952F by any chance? Obviously not doing as many resto's as you and at that price need to get shorter length
4947f I think
