I have been working on a AFM for my friend RobT . I still have about a week or so left on the restoration before I deliver it down to California. Rob has been awesome to deal with!
This game was a expensive core game and a total junker . Take time and go though the pictures to get an idea of the extensive restoration this game is going though .
Enjoy and comments are welcome good or bad 8).

what is it you use to clean the metal parts? (the stuff in the spray bottle)
Sprite! 
I use a degreaser called oil eater ,cheap and it works good .
What is your process to filling the lock bar holes? Is it wood dowel,glue, then body filler?
Pretty much .
Thanks for all the nice words ! This stuff is a ton of work .
Quoted from Skypilot:so where did you find that pin ,Disney? Let me guess mickey himself did the initial repairs.
It is the worst pin I have seen. The good thing is, I have it almost totally rebuilt with lots of new parts . The game will be as good as new if not better .
Quoted from smassa:P.S. we can play ACDC to see who gets the crown of biggest blow hard fan boy!!!
Ha, I have seen both your and Robs scores and can tell you I can't compete.
Quoted from SoCalPinballs:Do you have any idea how many hours you have into one of your restorations?
I guess 100 hours . I get better with each one ,I will have to set up a time clock and punch in and out to get a realistic time frame .
Quoted from GRB1959:As always very, very nice work. In addition to skill and great attention to detail you really have to have a ton of patience for these types of ground up restorations.
Thanks Gordon !
Quoted from davewtf:I swore a couple times when i saw a few of those pics. I couldn't help it.
Me too, thankfully we have people from around the world help us with aftermarket parts to put these games back together !
Quoted from revmex:If I have targets that do not have the black plastic hollow tubes
I would think the insulator tubes are very necessary for not only insulation but blade alignment as well.
Quoted from MMforever:you did not finish taking photos
excellent work
I am not done yet , pictures of a complete machine are coming very soon . I also will give credit to all the people in my life that makes this type of stuff happen!

Quoted from RudeDogg1:sooo back on topic how and what do you use to clean ur boards?
With the stuff I posted in the picture.. Scrub rinse and use compressed air to dry then let them air dry for a few days or weeks depending on when I cleaned them ..
Quoted from RudeDogg1:Incase you didnt know and were confused lol cheers
I am always confused and was thanking you for participating in my thread !
