Black Hole arrived last week. When I lifted the playfield for the first time I noticed blue painters tape around the flipper switches. I removed the tape, and behold what’s underneath! Anyone seen this level of craftsmanship before? (Should I give them some credit for color matching the tape to the cabinet)

The cabinet graphics were re stenciled and playfields restored and clear coated. So, externally it looks almost new. However, I would have appreciated a heads up that some areas inside the cabinet look like they had been attacked by an angry beaver!

In the middle of my restoration and just found out from Clive at the Coin OP Cauldron that my CPU is too far gone for repair. Any suggestions on a replacement, Ni-Wumpf or Rottendog?
All my other boards are good so I don't need to spend the money on a Pascal all in one.

Quoted from Chalkey:Weird issue I was having was just a trough switch adjustment. What's the best place to get replacements for the two huge power capacitors in the cab? BDE is out of stock.
I just replaced my power supply. BDE’s kit cost $25 (2016 was the last update on his site). As his kit isn’t available, I Bought everything from Mouser and it cost me about $100 !! The capacitors accounted for a lot of that. Prices have really gone up!
