City? Liverpool? Bah... Spurs all day!

I can't imagine there are a ton of pins in UAE but you could hardly pick a better one to import.

#9 12 years ago

Very nice!

#10 12 years ago

nice work BinGhanem

I've been looking for pinball owners here in UAE, but no luck, I'm sure there are some, but not active in any online pinball communites. Little bit sad to be the only pinball collector in whole country lol

#12 12 years ago

i think you can have it redirected to my house

#13 12 years ago

Looks good to me.

#14 12 years ago

Beautiful looking machine!

#15 12 years ago

Very nice but the black sleeves kill the otherwise clean appearance. You have my protectors so why not get some of my color post sleeves too? They will keep that beauty CLEAN and bright a lot longer than the disintegrating black stuff.

Red and green look fantastic on AFM, BTW

#16 12 years ago

Looks great very well played!!!! No pincab protectors?

Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:

I have the clears ones, have not been fixed yet

#18 12 years ago

Simply Amazing! you are gonna be very happy with it! Great Purchase!

#19 12 years ago

That's the only pin I wish I would have never sold.

#20 12 years ago
Quoted from BinGhanem:

what do you think guys ?

The picture art is missing above the playfield inside the cab. Missing in the before photo too.
You might want to ask if there is one.

#21 12 years ago

The picture art is missing above the playfield inside the cab.

If you're talking about the backboard decal, it's an aftermarket mod. It does look great, though ...

I got the mirror blades, they look amazing. there are background decal and PlexiGlass Custom Backboard, the plexiglass little bit expensive, but really cool

mm example

anyone installed that? just want to know how hard to fix this thing into a pin

#23 12 years ago

That should look sweet BG please post some pics with the blades and plexiglass all installed. You lucky dog!!

#24 12 years ago

just found the installation manual if anyone is interested in this

Jim McCune installed one on mine. INCREDIBLE mod. Pictures, and movies do not do it justice. He told me that it is a little tricky. He mentioned you would have to take the playfield out to probably do it correctly.

If you have the money, go for it, well worth it.

#26 12 years ago

That is the cleanest AFM I have ever seen. Great job restoring it!!

#27 12 years ago

Looks good....The person restoring it though didnt put the correct rubbers on around the out-lanes. You will get balls stuck if the right rubber rings arent there. There should be a rubber that runs from the out-lane post to the star post above it on each side. Enjoy your AFM it is a all-time great pin.

#28 12 years ago

Great re-paint. It's a keeper

#29 12 years ago

Ive got one on my MM.....It really is a great mod. I highly recommend it.

#30 12 years ago

Nice AFM, congrats! I absolutely love mine, it'll never leave my collection. Actually, that's probably too absolute. It'll probably never leave my collection. There, that's probably more realistic.

The jumping Martians are always awesome, especially when you watch the surprise of someone who never played the game before when they activate Martian Attack, and all the Martians start jumping around waving their 4 little arms.

That reminds me of the excellent humor of the game. I still laugh when a Martian says "Puny human, we have FOUR arms!"

Enjoy!

#31 12 years ago

me wantz that!

#34 12 years ago

The martians do not have legs ! I have to question the RESTORED comment !

Jim

#35 12 years ago
Quoted from McCune:

The martians do not have legs !

They don't either do they?! I had to go back and look. What happened to the poor little guys legs? We've got some MIA martian legs! Aside from the missing legs, game looks real good, especially compared to the before pick. I would definitely not mind adding AFM to our line up.
