Just finished close to 50 hours of restoration work on this Space Shuttle I purchased from a local collector.
Game was in really nice original shape when I started but needed to be gone through fully to bring it to the next level.
Ramp was in bad shape and they don't make replacements so I had to get creative with it. Result is a really strong re-enforced ramp. All metal buffed to a mirror shine. Titan premium rubber all around. New back glass.
Vid of it in action here:

Rebuilt all flippers, pop bumpers, cleaned and adjusted all switches and outfitted game with premium Titan brand rubber. This playfield is the nicest original I have ever come across for this title. They are usually pretty beat up and blown out especially above the top USA lanes. Cleaned and buffed the playfield and buffed all metal to a mirror shine. Rebuilt the boardset. Many new parts and repair of broken assemblies. Looks and plays like new! Enjoy!

Enjoy!
