Documenting this Judge Dredd for a top side tear down, polish and rebuilding all mechs. We’ll try and fix any issues we find along the way. It’s already a solid, nice playing game but going to replace flippers, stand up targets, optos, and ramp decals for certain.

I plan to remove any factory Mylar as well.

This is why I break parts down completely. Hard to tell this stand up bracket was cracked and broken. I already have one so will be good to go.

5 bank drop assembly all rebuilt.

Target decals on the drop assembly. It will get decals on the stand up targets too.

Mechanisms are getting rebuilt.

All optos being replaced. I’m using new white holders as they look much better than the old yellowed ones.

First batch of new optos installed.

The ramps are ok but the large one has had a repair. No one is making ramps for this yet so it will have to wait. All ramps are getting new flaps.

The other three flaps are getting sized so they’re available. Hope to have an idea of when they’re available soon.

The small AIR RAID ramp has the new flap and decal installed. This flap is available at Marco.

Shooter lane has a new flap installed after getting regrained. This flap is available at Marco.

Today was cut and buff of the playfield. It came and really well. Always hard to capture on camera the difference. These are the afters.

The new pursuit labels are on with new decals. Trying red and blue LED flashers under the respective colors.

Did a vacuum on the cabinet. Still needs some clean up and new power cable.

Playfield is starting to come along.

Ugh yes it is. And it was in good shape already.

Ramps are wrapped up less new flaps. Should have them thanks to Jody next week. Once I know details I’ll share where you can get your own new ramps flaps.

I did some light flame polishing, installed the new optos, and the new decals. They look a lot better. Would be great when they remake these ramps but these will look pretty good now.

Huge thanks to JodyG for helping with the flaps. Hoping to share where you can get your own in the near future.

Got them installed too.

Unless he’s local to the Lancaster, Pa area I don’t think so.

It doesn’t look like much, but got the new targets soldered in and soldered in the coils.

Yes good eye lol. It has Pinsound already but adding in the speaker kit.

I’m a fan. I used it on my own IJTPA. And a sub has been in it since day one too.

He got the ramp decals from Marco.

It’s not my game so the owner chose but agree this color is good. If I didn’t see the black, I was taking a silver or another contrasting color from the playfield.

Awesome on that for the mixes info. I’ll have to load them on there for him too. The originals don’t sound very good on Pinsound to me either. I have them on my own CFTBL and IJ. I have original soundtrack on them just for if I wanted to hear them but never use them.

He just got them from there. So maybe was their last set and NOS. I saved the old ones. I can ask if he is willing to share them.

Yes they are. I’ve bought things from them we several times over the last few years.

Top side is done.

Lol yeah and when you do find it you’ll be like how the heck did it get there?!

She’s here but she doesn’t venture out to the garage. I’m afraid she will learn how to drive like Toonces.

Trying to make as much as I can look like new. The caution decal for the apron was coming off so removed and installed a new one. Same with the cabinet Lenc Smith decal.

Cabinet is cleaned up and ready.

The only thing I’m waiting on is I never removed the playfield hangers to clean up. They were pretty nasty.

Some pics of the blue coin door LEDS.

So far a bad opto was the cause of the one non working. Replaced the lower wire form optos and good to go.
