Another incredible restoration Chris. The results of your work are spectacular.
It has to be tough owning one of your restoration's…… I would have to be very selective about who touches/plays the game due to fear of any type of damage or blemish being inflicted.
I really enjoy following this thread and hope that you continue posting for a long time to come.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Was outdated from 2010.
Not worth remounting.

Sometimes I wonder if my wife feels that way about me.

Was outdated from 1962.
Not worth remounting.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Ok so if the cups off, the ejector is off then that means the coil that activates the ejector is off too. That is the domino effect.

Boy, that sure can be annoying and time consuming. What a pain in the butt.

[quoted image]Cracked the seal on these today.
The BP game is much rougher than the JD one.
It’s rusty. [quoted image][quoted image]
Hacked too!

Man, those boards are a mess. I hope that I never have to deal with something like that.

“I appreciate those not interested suffering through the weekend update.“

I love the new weekend update!
Great job making “pit bikes” like brand new. Hoping that you will restore a full size bike in the future.

Going to start working through the IJs
For these Curtis will tear them down at the warehouse on the weekends.

Looking forward to seeing what you might do with the plastic IJ airplanes. Lots of possibilities.
I put some diecast planes on my IJ years ago.

Yeah, that must be kind of bitter sweet letting go of those 2 MX80’s.
I hope that at some point you will do another motorcycle resto. Really enjoyed seeing your work!

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Five year anniversary of the HEP this week thread.
Show it some love. That is a lot of dedication.

Chris, your HEP this week thread is as wonderful as the amazing work that you do restoring pinball machines (and motorcycles). Thank you for all the time and effort you dedicate to keep the thread going. I did not realize until just this morning that you have 191 key posts indexed. Soooo much good information that you have graciously shared with the Pinball community.

#13187 7 months ago
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Lots of cut and spliced wires throughout this one.

What a mess.

I am curious if you typically try to power up machines prior to tear down? Or best not to?

Great news!
I am quite sure that I was not the only person saddened that your thread went dormant for a while.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

I think this is one of the dirtiest TAFs I have done in a while.
I can’t touch it without my hands looking like I have been working on an old motor.
All scoops broke along with some brackets , coil lugs and more.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Obviously a lot of “hard miles” on that one. She will be better than new before long.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Had to take a quick break to help a friend shuffle that recently finished Spirit around.
We placed it next to this one.

I like style 2 better. Same reason as Mr. Tantrum has noted. The slow pan of the still photos let’s the viewer truly see the detail and over the top quality of your work. The Total Chaos is incredible. Another HEP masterpiece !

Great story Chris. I love the candid way that you laid everything out there.
Safe to say that nearly everyone despises having to deal with “douche bags”, especially the ones that are anal about everything.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

These are my top five builds and the stories behind them.

Chris, I love your candid talk about dealing with rich people. I damn near spit out my morning coffee when you said:

“They are usually not that much fun. If you get one of these fuckers on the phone, they are about as much fun as a dead puppy. I’m serious, fuck these people.”

Thank you for giving me a good laugh at the start of my day !
