Looking forward to seeing how you deal with the dirt in the cracks, cupped inserts and planking.

Wow! Such good color match, at least to my eyes.

EBD cabinet looks great. On the head, I liked when the you had the red background as it matched the back glass, but understand the challenge then with too much cream in the border compared to the lower cabinet.

The only thing that strikes me a little odd now it the red along the neck line. Tough to tell if it's all shirt or shirt + neck in the original. Seems like it's missing a little cream to highlight the flesh tone in his neck to match the lighting on his face.

Fantastic job though. What a special cabinet for the buyer.

Quoted from freegame450:

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.

It's like buying a new car. The first ding is going to hurt.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

I‘ve seen and dealt with much worse. Would have been nice to catch it when I was prepping the cabinet but a 1/4 inch off on bare wood just doesn’t jump out at you like it does with the art on

I was wondering how much the sword being off center was going to bother you when I looked at the photos. Didn't think there was anything you could do. Guess I was wrong.

I think it's called "bonded parallel" or "parallel bonded" wire.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:

The scrap mirror blades are installed. I will do my best not to scratch them but on the Stern games in particular where the playfield is not locked on a fixed track or pivot it gets even harder.

Not sure what the clearance looks like between the playfield and the mirror blades on Tron, but I've added a strip of the self adhesive felt from pinballrestore down the length of the playfield in the past with some success. I think this microfiber felt might be even better.
