Following. Good luck on the restoration!

Slowly but surely, she's starting to look lovely again. Keep up the good work!

From what I understand, pinball is all but extinct in Greece, because of some idiotic law. Finding a machine there in general is very tough. Which means finding a machine as cool and rare as Star Gazer is nothing short of a miracle.

I kind of see how people say that they would have parted this one out. But, knowing the context, I think resurrection is the only right choice for this game (that Axaios wisely made). Parting out this machine might very well mean parting out the only Star Gazer in the entire country.

Nice work on that lock bar!

A tip: If you want to give that Stern coin door and those legs a fresh look, silver color Hammerite hammered aerosol paint is a great option.

I've done two Lightnings with it and the result was awesome; very close to the original paint job in terms of structure and color. Best thing is that it will cover the rust spots. Quite a cheap fix too.

Did you also check and replace the transistor that drives that coil? That might be the reason the previous coil went the way it did.

Awesome!
