playfield looks great. did you have to do any touch up before clearing?

Looking good! The neutral zone hole did not look bad.Great game!

I had to touch up a couple of spots

Great!

Always good to see, somebody save pinballs for the future...
Respect!

Wow, are you going to add it to the collection or put it on the market? It looks great.

I second that question! What a difference. Looks incredible.

Looks great. Would love to see a pic of the whole machine showing the lockdown bar and the side rails. What did you paint/clear them with?

The trim is going to be installed in a couple of days. I painted all the trim then clear coated with auto DuPont Cromo clear 7600 was sprayed with a paint gun and put under a heat lamp. I will post pics of the cabinet next week. Still am working on putting playfield back together.

+3 Your STTNG is looking great.

can't wait to play it. I read 30 days before you should play it ,to let the clear dry. It has ben 2 weeks already.

Saving dead pins should be something every pinhead should aspire to do.

Good job man!

Looks great! Makes me want one...

looks like you pulled a 180 on this machine, glad someone brought this one back from the dead!!! looks great, and the powder coat blue on the trim looks amazing.

Geezus tat, when did you have time to do this? Didn't you just finish your High Speed like last week?

shock me still working on High Speed. I have STTNG at my work so when it is slow or after work I have ben working on it. After I am done with High Speed and STTNG I will be doing my MB. looking to get a New P/F and clear coat it.

Good luck with the restore. STTNG is my favorite game of all time. The one I picked up needed some work too, but with some help, she plays like a beauty now!

That's really gorgeous, nice work. Any wide angle shots available of the cabinet with the blue trim installed? I cant envision it.

Thanks for sharing, I'll probably be doing the same thing to mine.

Looking great! That is a quick turn around on the game. My projects take me months and months...

Fantastic! Beam me up!!
