This is going to be awesome! I love fish tales, and it's going to look official with some brand new Serials!

Restorations are kind of a labor of love, I'm into my terminator probably around 5k ( if I include getting scammed for 2700) bucks I love the process so to me it's worth and I don't have spect to make money if and when I sell mine. Can't wait to see the process on this thread!

These things happen, on my T2 I cracked the playfield... after about a week, you will get over it. it will play every bit as good as one with a straight decal, it just adds character. Looking great!

Hey cosmokramer something just occurred to me u may be able to (very carefully) use a heat gun to peel off and re apply that ramp decal

Looking great!

I'm quite jealous of your workspace, amazing!

Wow!!! That is awesome

Looking great! Did u make a stencil and use a router to build the new back panel?

Sorry to read this about your back @cosmokramer. I hope u feel better soon, I have had injections in my back and struggled with pain for a long time so I empathize with your discomfort

The craftsmanship here is awesome! cosmokramer

Wow! this is looking so awesome!! And this game is one of my fav's I love the color, callouts and music, just a fun game

Great stuff! Can't wait to see this baby done! Such a fun game

Looks amazing @cosmokramer, I’m picking up a fish tales next week!!

You have that texturing technique down, looks awesome!

Love the attention to detail cosmokramer I’m going to have to steal ur idea and paint and polish my power supply also nice work

Wow amazing job, what an accomplishment on bringing this machine back to life

Love it!

Certain games, a color dmd Totally changes the experience and almost always severely enhances video modes. Indiana Jones is a good example the mode cart video mode is super tough... but with a color dmd the contrast and color make the video mode so much more enjoyable. I would say fish takes is a game that benefits for sure!

Just amazing. It’s looks beautiful

Hey cosmo are you going to offer cabinet kits? Your so good at it could be a great opportunity. Virtualpin has cabinets, but some of us can’t warrant spending that much. If it came in pieces and one could just assemble it, with some glue and a nail gun would be awesome!

Always impressive work cosmokramer

Beautiful

Keep me honest. Here @cosmokramer, original williams and abally cabinets the whole bottom is not painnted including the edges. I did the same treatment on my cabinet. Looking good man! You making some great progress love it!

In the words of fish tales dude... “WOW what a beauty”

Looking great!!

Holy Crap!! That's awesome!

Looks awesome! cosmokramer and your decal is in the mail!

Nice!! Yup the heat gun is your friend, your doing a great job man!

Such an amazing job! High five

Sadly my fish tales is still not working. I had the power driver board repaired, as I was having major reset and coil firing issues. Now next issue is none of the trough switches work. In addition to that the left pop bumper is triggering current to the drop target mini coil. It’s been a nightmare seriously losing my
Patients, but I’m keeping hope

Good point cosmokramer and it did work for the most part, you could actually play a game... sort of. So I’m not sure what th heck happened to the power driver, and the trough switches had some serious ground wiring Hackery and I have a suspicion that is the problem for both the remaining issues... could be a bad diode somewhere

Great job cosmokramer the woodwork in this project was amazing. Such a great build.

Wow 3700, is a steal imo. But California prices tend to be much higher over here. I saw one recently that was “restored” not as nice as cosmos and I think it went for around 5k... but the seller was asking 6k+

You got yourself one of the nicest Fish Tales out there congrats! pinlawyer

You kept it!?

The black looks Great!

Beautiful, the black has great contrast with the warm tones. Well done!

Love it! cant believe your selling that beauty.
