Hey folks, I’ve found a Revenge From Mars locally to put opposite my AFMR LE. The outside art is in practically perfect condition.

The Playfield is a bit dusty and not as perfect as I’d like and the balls are rusty but all appears to be in working order. Bulbs and CRT are all working.

My first order of business is to give the Playfield a gentle dry cloth cleaning. Then I’ll wax it up and replace the existing balls with Chrome ones.

There is one small place where the board Art is starting to peel from the board. I’ll take pictures when it arrives and would love any advice there on how to prevent further damage.

I gotta find a cliffy for the Stroke of Luck drop.

Pulling the rusted bolts and hitting them with some fresh black rustoleum.

I’m also hoping to replace the stock saucers with metallic looking ones to match my Attack From Mars but I can’t find metallic painted replacements anywhere. Can anyone help there?

I’m also hoping to find a set of good mirror sideblades.

Lastly I’m going to look up how to update it to the latest software.

This is my second Pin but my first used pin. I’m looking forward to giving this one a bit of tlc.

Have any of you done any upgrades to your RFM that you really enjoy?

Quoted from Jojaco:

I use a remote controled outlet to turn my Pin's on. So, it makes no difference where the actual on/off switch is located on each pin. I leave them always in the 'on' position. Painted the aliens to match the one on the side. You were lucky to have found a perfect cabinet, mine was bad, and I had to airbrush is after prepping it. To enhance the image I use a Ultimarc VideoAmplifier. Finally I have installed 2 blue LED light strings attached to each of the ramps, these can be turned on/off again with a remote, and dressed the ramps up with a cow, chicken en pig. All bulb are replaced with LED's matching the inserts

Where did you get the cow and pig?

LOVE the paint job on the aliens and great job on the cabinet restore!
