Quoted from Vinnypin:

Beautiful restorations Stevens... absolutely gorgeous!
I'm more of an SS/DMD guy, but I've gotten my hands dirty on a few EM's over the past two years... I'm keeping this Old Chicago, (love the theme and Deco artwork) This will be my first cabinet restoration, when I get around to it. The game has otherwise been cleaned and fixed with one tiny modification (I added a light under the top rollover).

Quoted from wayner:

Just completed a resto on my GTB 2001 which I acquired about 12 mths ago. Machine although working was in quite poor cosmetic condition & operation was at best sluggish.
Resto included cab repaint; strip, clean & overhaul pf, head & motor board-drive shafts of all steppers in particular were particularly gunked with hesitant movement. As is now customary dismantled score motor & service included lubrication of that hard to get to upper lubrication point. Anyone spot the cab repaint problem in pic 3?
Machine now plays great & a pleasure to dedicate it to ' the Factory'-the name of my gameroom.

..and finally got round to making up a t-bar tool (the T from a disused kitchen drainer & socket from our local recycling centre) for getting to those pesty pop ring & shaft nuts-works a treat!

Finally finished my Centigrade 37 a couple days ago. It was a hell of an ordeal, but all's well that ends well.
