Just joined the club! Picked up a nice Mata Hari this afternoon from a friend with a CPR playfield, CPR plastics, and a new main board. The original backglass looks great from what I can tell. Saw and played this same game 5 years ago and really enjoyed it. I asked the seller if he ever went to sell it to let me know!
Still need to find out what model of main board was installed. Seller told me theres dip switch settings on it to change game back and forth between 3 and 5 ball.
Quoted from phillyfan64:Looks beautiful! Congrats and welcome to the club. Your backglass even has the German writing on the dagger. Nice!
Thanks!
Quoted from Mathazar:Congrats on joining the club! If you got a Bally MPU or an Alltek replacement, Switch 16 is for the ball count ("on" for 5 Balls, "off" for 3 balls).
Ok cool, thank you!
Quoted from Mathazar:Nice! Mine is on my to-do list. How did you clean up yours? Elbow grease, dremel, or something else?
Thanks. After removing all of the parts I used the finishing sander attachment below with an electric drill . Afterwards I just wiped it down with a damp cloth and went over it with some metal polish. To clean the crease in the small vertical trim section I used a dremel. Other then that I polished the handle, receiver tabs (attached to playfield) and nuts / bolts using a tumbler.

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:Well I guess I can finally post in here. Just finished my 7 month long MH restoration. It was my first restoration attempt & It turned out better than I ever expected.
Cabinet repaired & repainted. All new Altek boards. Every connector repinned. All mechs repaired & replaced new. Coin door restored. New LED displays. Hardtop installed. I lost track of how much money I put into it, but the experienced gained was worth it, and the fact that now I have a sweet playing MH.
Enjoy the pics!
