I took a chance and had one shipped from Winnipeg to Vancouver based on two pictures. The back and play field glasses are great but the play field and cabinet are poor. Too bad that Wade Krause could only make 30 play fields, they look awesome and they are sold out. This is going to be the biggest restoration I've ever taken on including re-gluing and re-painting the cabinet, which reluctantly I'm going to have to do.
As an aside I remember playing Lawman when I was a teenager. I also like that game a lot and I know someone who has one.

One more aside: That Cubs win was fantastic last night.... what a ball game. I also have a really nice Chicago Cubs Triple Play. It is sad what Gottlieb had become by the time that game came out, but the back glass is very nice.

Great info from the comments on this. I've loved pinball since I was a teenager in the 70's..sites like this are excellent!

Quoted from ckcsm:

I bought the other Atlantis machine from Nick; it needs to be totally redone. I have a new playfield from Wade which I will install.
Nick has an incredable collection of very nicely restored machines, he is a perfectionist.

I've got a Wade Krause playfield as well. He does some excellent work. My back glass is in really nice shape but sadly I am going to have to re-paint the cabinet. I've got a nice stencil kit to help me along with that. So many machines to restore........but this one really is a genuine classic, and very much in demand, though I doubt I will ever sell mine.
Good luck with your resto!

Quoted from pocketscience:

Where did you get your stencils? My cabinet has certainly seen better days.

I got the stencils here:
