Just came across this PantherCityPins restoration thread. The Getaway shown previously was my game, and Panther City Pinball did a superb job on the playfield swap. This was a project I was going to undertake on my own (would have been my first), but after more than six months with the playfield still sitting in my office I decided I needed to find a professional. After observing the process (since I'm local, I visited his shop a few times to watch) I can't tell you how happy I am with my choice to have outsourced the project. Rick was meticulous when it came to the swap and it really ended up being somewhat of a playfield restoration. He identified a variety of parts that were either wrong, broken, or hacked to get working back in the day to keep the game running. We replaced these parts with new and correct ones as needed, and he did a great job cleaning up and reutilizing everything else.

I could go on and on about the quality of his work, his attention to detail, and the how quickly he performed the work, but I've already done that in other posts so will refrain from doing it again here.

Quoted from PantherCityPins:

Too cold to paint so I’m working on the coin door and replacing the rectifier board.

So, you are rectifying the rectifier situation?

Got a little blurry there in the end, but Meadowlark & Curly would be proud.

Those colors really pop on the cabinet and playfield. Very visually pleasing restoration in every aspect.

Every time a I see a Freefall post Tom Petty is singing in my head . . . I can't stop it.

Some serious Americana going on there with trucking, Evel, and Globetrotters.

Quoted from PantherCityPins:

Globetrotters brought home some hardware!! It went to its new home as well. A little sad to see it go but excited to start the next project! The buyer of Globetrotters also sent me home with a Xenon to restore. It will go into the queue.

Congratulations, and well deserved! I passed by several times yesterday, and people were always playing the game, saying positive things, and enjoying it.

The patient has been gutted and is ready for surgery sir![quoted image]

Looks like the patient may be going through an NDE at the moment. Good luck with resuscitation.
