Quoted from Snux:

And this is how it came back......

The picture of the cab front shows a different door, I've actually fixed up the original and put it back on since the picture was taken.
Here is a close-up of the head decal.

Manny also did a lot of work to strengthen the cab. Here's a shot of underneath..

While he was doing that, I did some work on the speaker panel. The LEDs in the speakers I will be able to switch on and off under software control. Think "Afterburner" :

So, now you can see why I want to wait with the refurb until the new playfields are available; anything other than a new one wouldn't look right in this "new" cab. So now while I'm waiting for those, in the next post or two I'll outline what I'm thinking about in terms of software. I'm not so far with that yet, so once I've explained where I'm at any other suggestions are welcome!!!

Holy Cow !!!! That is amazing !!!! that candy apple red is sweet !!!
