Got most of the PF done and switches adjusted. Just missing a couple pieces of hardware. It will be ready to drop in a cabinet very soon. I’ll try to do better with updates and pictures. Wish I could upload a video.

But here are some pics for eye candy of the other projects.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
That's the worst BSD I've seen! 
What is that on the back box?
Quoted from The_Director:Looking great!! This has come a LOOOONGGG way from where it started.
It has, but at this point in my life and the number of restorations I’ve done, I wouldn’t do one like this again unless it’s super rare and worth a lot of money. How long has it been since I pick this project up from you?

Probably 3 years, maybe pushing 4.
Little more progress today

Just have to hook up the speaker panel, update the color DMD for TOTAN, drill holes in the backbox light tube and install the lights/harness/ribbon cables and I think it will be done. Then the usual dialing in the pin.

Quoted from plovis:This is awesome Bud. Will this one be making its way to Tappers?
Unfortunately I had to sell it. I just need to finish it up and sent it down the road.
Quoted from plovis:Wow. Looks incredible. Is the issue with those mirrored glasses true for all machines, or just a problem with this one? I was thinking about getting one for IJ.
I think it’s only an issue with WPC95 machine because of the lighting panel that is attached to the glass via plastic trim.
I have one in my IJ and there is no issues at all. I would imagine all pins with a swing board light panel would be easy to use the thicker mirrored glass.

Bought the leftovers from bud....Picking up the pieces Bud special 2.0[quoted image][quoted image]
That’s an entirely different pin, I bought it to reference some of the wiring and used a couple small parts off of it and the wiring harness for the light tub on the backbox.
This pin is an excellent restoration candidate, previous owner applied new decals to a solid cab. It came with a new reproduction playfield, a new skill shot and I added a bunch of other new parts to the pin in addition to the leftover parts from the blow out TOTAN. I was going back and forth on restoring this one too. But pins are like gardens, you only get to redo so many in your life time and I didn’t want to do another one back to back.
I’m sure it’s going to turn out real nice knowing the kind of work you do.
Quoted from bigehrl:who's your zip-tie guy?
Lol, that’s not zip-tie. It’s wax string used for cable lacing.

Yup, you just made it too easy for me to say no
Quoted from Schmitty:Just to be clear I’m making a better then players condition machine out of this one...no nitpicking Bud!
Your “better than players” is considered “restored” to most people in the hobby
