Anyone else love Volcano?

My machine had some ball wear. Must have been really popular, back in the 80’s!

Thanks to the internet, I could print off a reference photo and try my best at hand drawing/colouring small details.

The black clouds were a bit tricky to replicate, so used a terry towel cloth for some sort of similar pattern. First 2pac clear down, so had some fish eyes to start with.
After two more clear coats down, the clear smoothed out.

Inserts were pre-scanned, repaired (best I could in photo shop) and reapplied with water slide decals. Came out ok, when backlit.

New pop bumper bodies/caps and plastics from PBR installed.

I still have some major work to do on the outer backglass. A lot of artwork has de-laminated and missing, so planning on scanning into Photoshop and try to replicate on a new piece of glass.

Unfortunately my machine was missing the sound/speech board, so am currently using a Pascal PI-FX sound only, sound board, until I can source an original replacement. This is what I have.

Also own a Haunted House which is a really nice machine, but I still prefer to play Volcano with all the harder shots and the multi-ball feature.
