Chris’ amazing Tommy inspired me to do this to my own. I have a Kruzman cleared NOS playfield going in.
I have a much more detailed thread here.. https://www.aussiearcade.com/topic/97670-tommy-watch-an-idiot-bite-off-more-than-he-can-chew/,
but I will put some pics here as well.

Looks good!

I didn't see it in the link, but if you haven't planned on it, I highly recommend upgrading the auto plunger to the newer stern style. It is vastly superior to the original DE style.

Yeah, I’ve been going back and forth on that. Thanks for your vote of confidence in it.

Its a must do in my opinion. It will properly launch the ball every time.

Man what a great idea pitting light strips in the inside Cabinet.
