Hey all,

This is my first pin ever. I'm doing a complete restoration. It's a hobby for me to help take my mind off work I took everything off the playfield the first day I had it. I have since then cleaned it, and started the touchup paint. Here's my touchup pics. The rest of the pics can be seen on my facebook which can be accessed through my profile on here.

Remember, this is my first one, so if you see anything I could do to improve, I'm happy to learn

I wonder if that's the same FG I saw on Nashville's Craigslist about a month or so ago for $500 and no legs. Kinda kicking myself for not picking it up. Good luck with the restore, and I look forward to seeing your progress.

Yep, it's that one. I picked it up in Lafayette. I traded a Xmen vs Street Fighter arcade cabinet and $100 bucks for it Almost all the drop targets are broken, it needs a flipper rebuild, and it's not working, so it definitely wasn't worth $500. I'll keep the facebook pics updated.

Oh cool, congrats on the score. Hopefully those are fairly easy fixes. Will you be able to post photo updates here since I don't know how to see your Facebook pics?

Nice progress, sure it will look like new when you are done.

Should give you some tips.

That looks awesome! Mine's not in that bad of shape. I'll definitely take some ideas from the when lit logos you did. I just realized that I have a pantone color thing at work, so i'll be borrowing it soon to start on parts other than the black. I don't think i'll go over all the black like you did. I'm trying to only fix the places that wood is showing before I clearcoat it. Definitely Appreciate the help
