Thought I'd post a few pics of some work done on AFM by my friend Tim.

Tim runs a restoration business down under, and produces some of the best restorations you will find anywhere.

Due to the declining quality off existing cabinets, Tim has been prototyping new cabinets for his restorations, and my AFM was used for a first “production” restoration. The game already had a repro playfield and everything playfield wise already new or restored, but the cabinet had seen better days and was of course faded badly.

The results are stunning, and I can’t wait to get it back home (once Tim does a little more play testing!!

Here's some shots of the old cabinet.....

Here’s some pics of the timber components.

And finally, the “new” game, looking better than factory!!

Well in the "flesh" this is just amazing!! The only NIB I have had was BBB a few years ago. Opening this up to see such a clean, new interior is wonderful, and that new cabinet **smell** is the best!

I have a set of new ramps (all three) to instal which I didn't have when the new playfield went in a while back. Can't wait to do that - aside from the boards and metal rails, this game will be virtually brand new in every way!!
