Like stated before, looks like you have lots of experience with this level of restoration.

That’s going to be one nice FD when you are done.

There has to be a back story as to how a Pinsider in Limassol is restoring a Fast Draw.

How much pinball exists on the island?

With the fresh condition playfield you will have when done and dialed in well FD is about as good a game as any from this era.

There should be no doubt in your mind that your efforts are going to be worth it. My Quick Draw will be one of the last games to go in my collection.

I don’t know that I would have the patience to put in the amount of time you indicate you have spent so far and not be at a point you can play the game. But there is no question that your playfield restoration results are exceptional.

One last thing, Bronco isnt even half the game that FD is, especially at that price.

Getting close. The anticipation is buiding.

That went together quickly.

So the bigger questions are:

Is it working?

and

How do you like the gameplay?

Quoted from phototamer:

After some troubleshooting , It plays like a dream ! The pop bumpers are fast , and smooth and everything flows beautifully.
It just makes you try one more time to get the drop targets down and get the horseshoes up , to go for the 5000.
The way the drop targets are positioned , trying to directly hit them gets you in a high risk of losing the ball from the sides . So you have to resist direct hits to the drop targets and hit them indirectly by shooting up for points.

That’s the attraction/satisfaction/addiction of FD/QD.
