Nicest one I have seen , if only you were closer . GLWS

Wow, I mean seriously.

I have a fairly nice Popeye, but that has to be the nicest Popeye on the planet.

The transparent ramp makes a HUGE difference to playability; you can actually see the left outlane area so you can nudge. I have the transparent blue ramp in mine.

How did you restore the boat bow plastic? Looks perfect.

Is there a video or something for the pinsound files you used? Would love to hear that.

Did you do restore work on the porthole? I could use advice on that as mine is kind of scratched up.

Again, really nice job. I like playing my Popeye, can't understand the hatred people have for this game. There are MUCH worse games out there.

Thanks,

RM

Hi,

Thanks for the comments. It's a new playfield and a lot of TLC.

#5 5 years ago

Stunning.

I'm a huge Popeye fan and it's awesome to see this seriously under rated game given so much care and attention.

Just needs a ColorDMD to finish it off

It's not underrated. Game will always be love it or hate it.

I like the music.

no problem.

Everybody thinks everything they like is underrated. Everybody thinks everything they don't like is overrated. So sometimes you gotta set geezers straight.

I can't see where the hell I'm shooting the ball on this pin

You are welcome and thank you!

Sometimes people don't appreciate my candor but I'm glad that you do.

You may like the game or not, that is one issue. The operator game is really stellar. NOS playfield, and playfield swap. How much are people charging for just a swap? Show me someone that does a swap under 2k! Not counting all the other TLC. One big issue in the hobby in my mind is how much the hard work involved in restoring a game is taken for granted.
