I purchased this game at an auction in Duncanville, TX on 1/30/2012 for $327 after taxes and fees. The auction took place at an old mechanic's shop.
The game looked fine but dirty. I intended to fix it up immediately but life got in the way. So it sat on its butt for quite a while. Fast forward to March 8, 2014.
I am at a good friend's birthday party and I am chatting with Classic_Stern of Pinside. The conversation flows towards the 2014 TPF Classic Stern Row. I mention that I finally got my Dragonfist on legs and that it should clean up nicely. However, I doubted that I would get it cleaned up and working before 2014 Texas Pinball Festival. Classic_Stern then proceeds to convince me that I should get it cleaned and working for the 2014 TPF.
So now I am undertaking the challenge.
Here is a link to the pre-shop pictures.
Here is a link to the post cleaning but pre-wax playfield.
I will add links to future picture albums as my progress continues.
