We're back!

After a disaster in our datacenter took down our server, we are now running Pinside on a brand new server. However, things may not work as expected as we are still polishing the playfield and adjusting some switches! We might be switching to maintenance mode a few times. Please see this forum topic for more info.

Decided to start a thread where people can post pictures of the strangest painted or modified cabinets they have bought or seen in a ad.

Figure I'd start it off with pics of a williams apollo I got today. Cab and head is wrapped in some puffy brown vinyl. Looks like a very well done and Profesional job back in its day

I won't remove it but I don't think I will be keeping the game either needs a ton of work and I don't want to do it.

It is going to hard to surpass the diamond vinyl padding. This Topic has reached its apex.

I've commented on this photo before. Why would wheels be attached to something, that are mounted in such a way as the wheels will not turn. Oh, and that fringe on the top is great too.

Maybe it's perfect underneath, and a previous owner wrapped it in money he wanted to hide, then covered it with the leather.

A long drive and $150 and you can find out and take a Apollo home as a souvenir.

Did that Apollo come out of he playboy mansion.
For that price I'd restore it and keep it. Just for conversations. And I'd get a leisure suit to wear while playing.
