Here's an example of how not to restore a playfield. For sale on e-bay, zoom in on playfield pics, looks like it was painted by a child!

I couldn't zoom in enough to see really. Then again, I don't own this one, so I'm not familiar enough to spot bad work from afar on it. Living in Portishead, you a fan of the group named after your town by any chance?
Quoted from SunKing:I got that beat. Here's one I swapped out with new CPR....

This one looks better. At least she has teeth.
At least those show some kind of intent. Unlike this:
"lots of touch-up at one point"??! So soaking wood with a black sharpie and blue paintmarker qualifies as an actual "touch-up"
Same machine was bid to $850 in that condition. Hmm, didn't know a shooter spring and tip could merit the bulk of a 50% markup. Oh, there's a new ramp and don't forget CPR is running new pfs this fall!*
*they have just days ago stated there's almost zero chance of them ever doing that title again, ever, let alone in a few months.
Sad.

Dude, that is the year of Robotron. We're all dead. This is obviously a time traveler trying to come back and sell his game before the robot apocalypse.
Oh wait, that's 2084. Perhaps this is post-apocalypse time travel of one of the remaining survivors. May explain why the game got hastily sharpied.
Quoted from TinyToo:Not a great fan of the band, but Glory Box by Portishead is a great track.
After they released "Third", they recorded this live session at Gordano School where Geoff Barrow attended.
