I was aware of this but completely forgot until after I ordered the wire from Mcmaster-carr.

FYI 50' of 18 gauge wire is ~$9 at mcmaster-carr and color correct wire from planetary is ~$2.25/ 10'. So its a decent price with not much markup for getting perfect re-wire jobs.

Ok so switch harness and GI is 100% complete. Next will be placing lamp boards ad LED’s. Then cleaning and placing lamp harness.

Current status. Topside build is on pause. Waiting for cliffy set and Mylar set. Bottom side is almost done. Few more coils to wire. Waiting to place target mech due to cliffy set.

I regrained all guides besides two long ones. Also need to polish wireforms which I have been dreading. Also building up plastics. FYI color comparison from @buthamburg’s set. Looks great!!

Also built lighted back panel thanks to Averell providing the decal. Waiting on quote back to get it printed.

It lives! Hooked playfield up to the back box. All lights/ GI/ flashers/ coils work as expected. Very happy about that.

Made a new ramp flap for the left metal ramp. Came out pretty good.

Good point. I’ll make a CAD drawing of mine to provide.

I’d go with .007” ss spring stock too. Instead of the blue tempered stuff.

Good morning, I have not forgotten about this project. I was waiting for some cliffy's last October and then decided I finally wanted to finish my unfished basement. Half of it is a game room and the other half a theater room. I've always wanted this since I was a kid. Now that the basement is complete I can focus on finishing this up. Just minor assembly things that are left and a final vacuum and cleaning. I do have rock hard duct tape residue on my skull that I need to figure out how to remove and refresh the original skull. That and there is slight fitment issues with the skull and new plastic set/ existing mounting holes. Its not anything terrible, but just some very tight fits/ deflection going on that I need to sort out.

I also had to ditch the lighted backpanel. I tried using the double sided tape that is used to adhere graphics to the underside of ramps but any unevenness or bubbles showed very badly as dark spots when lit. I then cleaned off all that adhesive and tried optically clear adhesive that is UV activated. that would have worked GREAT, however, I used too little in some areas and again, showed up as streaky, dark spots. On my attempt to remove the translite material, I ripped it. I can work on that in the background (i want to try buying the image on backlit sticker material) but I want to get this completed in the next 2 weeks for some friends are coming over.

Before/ after of the skull. There was dried duct tape adhesive on the skull that I had to remove and it took some paint off so I decided to refresh it.

Rustoleum metallic silver spray paint. Black was hand painted in

I’ll have better pictures soon but it’s done. It’s been so long I have not bothered to restore the cabinet so the playfield is 100% done. Threw it in and all worked fine, no issues.

Because this took so long I threw it back into the un-restored cabinet. I'll probably restore that thing next summer. Need to finish up with finish work in the basement and make more progress on my batman forever restore. Here is some pictures. I realized I am not good at taking playfield pictures. Ill take some pointers if you have them.
