Quoted from electronaut:

I watched André's (dreg604) videos of this Doctor Who restoration (in French and English) with absolute delight. He turned this modest game into a real showpiece of 90's pinball brilliance! Being totally inspired by his craftmanship and meticulous attention to detail, I simply had to buy one for myself and try to learn to do the same. Turns out, it isn't as easy as his videos will have you believe, and the cost is more than I can bear, so I scaled my restomod way back. So far, I managed to:
- upgrade the sound board to Pinsound+
- upgrade the speakers to Flipper Fidelity
- replace the DMD driver board to Rottendog
- repair the coin door
- replace with playfield glass
- convert the GI to LEDs (in progress)
It will never be as nice as your awesome machine, but I like to think it's rather special. Cheers!

I highly recommend the PinSound upgrade for everyone.. it's a critical piece of bringing the machine into the modern era! Stereo sound (only available via pinsound upgrade) is massive.
