Thanks Lloyd!!! w all the wiz bang out there, it was only fitting to get the old gal up to par ( actually way above par)....it is this machine that hooked me for life in the hobby....can't say enough good things about Chris ( which haven't already been said by others)......

going to bring it home Saturday: some pics....the guy is amazing!!!

I swear...it never hit the pool ( I don't even have one)....

#9 5 years ago

Oh my gosh - what a turnaround.

Quoted from pintechev:

Oh my gosh - what a turnaround.

Understatement for sure...the entire game needed the HEP treatment for survival...can't wait to get it home

#11 5 years ago

Wow! Beautiful. Nice use for the extra plastic piece above the pop bumpers, I dig that!!

#12 5 years ago

Lonely no more...beautiful:

I'll get some more tomorrow w lights on to show hardware, etc. Couldn't be happier!!!

#15 5 years ago

A few more w lights on, and I'll leave it at that. Chris is a great guy, and did an unbelievable job on this machine...I can only say if you haven't seen one of his finished restores, put it on you list. ( I take crappy pics, btw...thing is deadly in person)

That is hilarious!

"Sure my game is trash. I better put a bunch of LEDs on the back to fix it up nice !"

Or blind anyone looking back there
Honestly Mark was one of the nicest guys I have worked with over the years. He was very specific about what he wanted.
Hope the game serves him well.

#20 5 years ago

Looks amazing. Enjoy. I have a HEP MM I bought several years ago. One of Chris’s early machines. Still perfect. Must have numerous coats of clear on the playfield. Lol

#21 5 years ago
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Hope the game serves him well.

That game is so nice it'll probably serve him breakfast

#22 5 years ago

So did he restore or is this a replacement?

Very nice!

#23 5 years ago
Quoted from mbwalker:

Very nice!

It was a restore of the first game I bought years ago...some of it survived, but cab and playfield we're toast. Chris knew the direction I wanted to go before I'd even tell him.

A true, true asset to our hobby ( and super nice guy)...mark

We decided to skip the food part....there is a bourbon option, I believe..

This looks great. One question, the plastic piece that is above the graveyard where the wire form connects to the plastic ramp that looks like an archway, where does the piece come from? I never see it on other machines but it looks stock.

#27 5 years ago

Just WOW!

That's a custom HEP piece....not sure he sells it, but sure looks like it belongs....how he does these little things to a game that is 26 years old blows me away..the caliber of the restoration really has to be seen in person....

#29 5 years ago

All these HEP threads are making me jealous. Would love to HEP my baby someday (Creech).

I think it may be the plastic in the top left but trimmed a bit and drilled.
