Cabinet and head are getting sanded down to the wood. Dings dents etc are getting filled. Then sanding, priming, painting and installing new decals.

First coat of paint is done. Going to sand and smooth a couple times. Top 1/3 of the inside cabinet is also going to be sprayed as well, then followed up when done with a set of mirror blades.

Nice. I would love to see the before (before the tear down) pictures as well, so we can get an idea of where it came from.
Wow that looks nice! I want a TOTAN Bad
wish you were in Oregon
Anymore playfield top views? Also, your start button is on crooked teehee
Yeah, I noticed that, will fix shortly.
Playfield pictures are before shopping it out, and unwaxed. Also have yet to install the mirror blades, and new flipper bats.

Quoted from Richthofen:Is that wear around the scoop and the genie capture? Do they make cliffys for that?
Yes cliffy makes a set for it.

Come up and play mine!

Zippy I need to get up your way, I went to the "Barcade" at 12th and oak last night to play their TOTAN but it is a little blown out and it was so loud in there that you couldn't hear the machine. It would be cool if larger arcades like that had headphone jacks on their machines.
Quoted from Concretehardt:Zippy I need to get up your way
Yeah you do, bring the family - no quarters needed and no blown out junkers. (and free beer)

If your getting a WOZ your probably going to have to put out a no trespassing sign to keep my Daughter and I away 
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:Trade for an Xmen Magneto?
I am open to trades, but I don't think I can do X-Men.
Quoted from S37VEN:That playfield looks to be in great shape. The genie looks to be slightly off center and mounted too high -- the green targets should be covered by the genie.
Thanks, I will fix that once I shop it out. I plan on pulling most everything off the top, waxing and putting all new rubbers back as well.
Quoted from eabundy:I am open to trades, but I don't think I can do X-Men.
No worries, I am going to work on selling it trading for an AFM first then come back to a Totan. Probably will miss this Totan but watch for another one in the future. I have a feeling you will do another ; )
Quoted from NM:What color?
went with the chrome ones
In front of the genie on the left side you are missing a plastic piece. My is broken also. If you find two let me know. I think there is one on eBay for 12.99 but is kind of pricey for one piece.

I ordered a couple clear plastics from pinbits. 8.00 for the skillshot plastic guard, and 5.00 for the ramp switch protector.
Here is a link for anyone looking for the same plastics.

Nice job on the decals Eric; game is really turning out nice!
The mirror blades are chrome. I'm waiting to shop it out before installing them as I don't want to lift the playfield up and down more than I have too, as I would hate to unnecessarily put a scratch in them.
