I did the same thing for firepower. white wafers, white body and clear caps, if i ever get my hands on new copies of the original caps i'll be fine.
when i did my space shuttle restoration i almost did the same thing except for white wafers.

call me crazy lol, i said is was gonna do it.

but very practical to adjust the switches.
Fit perfectly, nice space under the apron and fit super nice when the PF is down.
a little protector behind the shooter housing.

everything seems to be ok, double checking and turning the switch "on" this weekend.

it's alive!!!

i didn't know what was going to happen.
played a few games, turns out i have a row of switches that doesn't work, will try to find where the problem is tomorrow.
other than that everything is fine.

also wired the flipper buttons light up (red) to the coin door, 2 flexible leds on a small board, very well done.
this is something i got about 6-7 years ago, also work on 12 volts. i was going to tap in the splitter board but realized the resistance on the small board gets way to hot, so i went with 6.3 volts in the coin door. (see pictures for the small board).
also led strip under the apron. that's the old apron, will re-paint with new stickers.

backglass (from planetary pinball, no idea what the colors will look like) is not changed yet, need to find a new chrome lift trim or i remove this one and try to polish it.

got another shooter rod on his way, same thing but chrome red to go with the flipper bats.
also thinking about a new plastic with sticker somewhere around the shooter lane.

so took me a few days to figure out where was the problem.
even if i double checked everything twice before i started the game.

so an entire row didn't work. rollrover star, the upper "r" lane, right kicker, etc.... and left coin chute.

yellow cap was already installed on top of the switch (left switch) in the coin door, didn't think to look at it.
turn's out, one of the blade from the switch was touching the spring and since the door is grounded, giving me a short.
small detail but is was the problem.

i used a file to remove just enough so it doesn't touch.
game work perfectly, no issue, plays like a million buck.
and honestly not because it's my game, i played a few firepower, best so far. i know there's probably better out there.

i wish my brother in law would have done a better job when i asked him to take care of the lines around the inserts, because he was going to clear the cab after the airbrush (he also forgot the numbers on the inserts but it's pretty obvious what you have to do since it's in front of the targets but can't say the same about the bonus multipliers)
but the clear job is nice, playfield is nice and flat, so yeah i can live with that, i waited long enough.
to me, the way i look at it, the playfied is a very very nice player game, above average.

flippers are nice and strong.
The eos switch really needs to be as close as possible so it only opens up at the end of the stroke.
most will go with 1/8, i went with almost, if not 1/16. i can hit that upper right hole easily.

also found similar operator buttons, i have one with the top broken (left side).
i also got an interlock switch a while ago (few years) but can't find it, so i'll have to order another one, the old one for now.

i have a few more things coming up.

oh and i'd like to thank everyone following this, i know some of you waited a long time for updates but i also waited for almost 3 years to get my cab and playfield back. not much i could have done, since it's family.....
something i normally do in 6 months - one year.

few things i want do to, mods and fixes, i'll try to update as much as i can.

thanks, bob.

lol, té malade!!! mais pas impossible.

new backglass VS old.

back and front. right away you can see a difference (not in a good way).

new vs old back (resized).jpgnew vs old front (resized).jpg

now installed.

am i the only one seeing wires behind the glass? is it like that on the original? i'm asking because i just realized that.
pigmentation is not the best, colors are not rich, crisp, i can see trough the backglass, wires and light (almost the light socket).
mirror is the worst part, it's kind of foggy, not clear, not sharp like a real mirror and a lot of imperfections. the old one, the mirror look much better.

this was from planetary pinball.
will i buy another one, nope. should you, nope!

Anyone got one from CPR, i think they did one not too long ago, difference?

honestly i might put the old one back on.

you'd be the judge.

you are faster than me, i was going to say the same thing!!!

and thanks for the kind words.

just heard they stopped selling it because they don't have the license/authorization. planetary does, they own it.
went to the cpr website.... it's gone!

i bought a few from cpr, normally a week or two before shipping, with tracking number.

i heard Mayfair version was pretty decent.

yeah, i received another one from them (i was one of those complaining about it, and with reason) because mirror was very bad, even this one is not perfect but it's night and day compare to the first one.

no that's the second one.
that was like 2 years ago when they sent me the second one.

thanks for the pics.

right away i can see your mirror looks better.
the white coat on the back is what makes the difference, can't see the wires behind the glass when the game is on.

better than mine in that regard for sure.

red shooter rod, a little darker in person.

i don't really work on pinball project in the summer, too many things to do.

but i'll get back to it, eventually.

no and i don't have what it takes to make it happen.
