Breaking it down.
Coin door had a credit button installed. Ugh, i hate that. Will look for a used door frame or just weld a piece on there.

Quoted from terrapinmark:Looks like a great candidate for a restore. Original spinners too. Keep us updated. Great game

If i had the skills to airbrush and clear coat playfields i'd probably do it but alas i do not. I also don't want to wait several months or years for another place to do it. HSA was pretty fast but they aren't doing it anymore. Ron K is a mondo doosh so i'll never work with him again. After its stripped i'll place the original next to the repro as now i'm curious about the blues.
More detailed pix of the PF. You can see a very unsuccessful attempt by a previous owner to touch it up.

Unfortunately you are correct. All of the blues are off. It still looks great, but definitely off.
Quoted from patrickvc:The repro blues on the Greatwich playfields are way too light.

Awesome! Thanks!!
Quoted from cottonm4:Yes. contact Bob Langelius at [email protected] He make white, yellow and red ones.
Thanks!
Killer Shark was working but there was a brake that wasn't working. The piece is unobtanium so i had to make it in 3D then print it out of the hardest plastic available because the prototype i made in PETG melted after a few seconds.
Quoted from abc12346038:The repainted cabinet looks terrific! I love me some SG and I used to maintain he SG owners list 10-15 years ago. I will be following this thread closely.
On a semi-related note, what’s the status of your Killer Shark restoration? I’m super anxious to see that thing in its final state!
Thanks!!!
