#16 10 years ago

I bought my Black Hole back in 1999 from an individual seller in San Antonio, TX. This was one that Craig Hassell and I both saw an ad for in the paper, and actually how we met. Picked the game up for $100. The cabinet was delaminating, the card tray had the word "JUNK" sharpied on it, the playfield had wear, and the boards were dead.

60 hours of hand repaint on playfield with nine coats of Varathane, 40 hours of cabinet repair and repaint (no stencils back then), lots of board work, and a heap of NOS parts where I could find them, ND this baby is fast, furious, and exceedingly difficult to beat!!! But it's a true keeper, it's not leaving the house.

(SIDE NOTE) - I remember dragging it in pieces upstairs because the sheer weight of this thing is monstrous....

I remember your beautiful restoration Chris.

Thanks Steve . Labors of love result in children of beauty, yes?
