Brought home a Frontier not long ago.
Playfield wear where mylar was not present and the game definitely needs a tune up (insert lamps light sporadically). Previous owner had the background sounds turned off -- switched them back on and I am definitely in the camp that likes the crickets, especially when there are multiples chirping away. Definitely made a point to remove that battery from the MPU!

I keep forgetting to post up about my Frontier Restoration Progress.
A link to the beginning (don't worry about that Paragon part 
):
A few repainted cabinet pictures:

Next step is reworking the playfield -- a hardtop install (as well as a couple other "upgrades") is the plan.
Quoted from hisokajp:I thought this machine, like old Bally came with head hinges contrary to the older ones, can anyone confirm?
Hinges on mine as well.
Welcome to the Club!
For my Frontier project I was/am working on a bit of a modification of the center target.
I had a piece of the red poly cut down into rectangles.
The cutter got the width right, but shorted me a bit on the height.
If anyone out there needs a translucent rectangle (slightly imperfect) for their Frontier, Paragon, or Nine Ball just send me a PM. I have plenty of extras to spare. I'll even include a set of 3/32" rivets. I can drill the holes but you will have to round off the corners.
