Hopefully next year I can actually get it swapped into the game!
I was lucky enough to find one with a pristine cabinet. The red is faded a little but physically it is unblemished. Can't wait to get it up to CQ.

Put the money towards a pinsound board. The stock speakers spring to life when they are driven properly.

I have to ask about the sling plastics. The background colour on mine is orange. It exactly matches the orange background on the inlane ball guides. The Marco repros are red, and so whenever I see red sling plastics I think repro. I think Arts are original but they look red in the photos. And the story above about the lightly played NIB has red looking background on the sling plastics as well. Was there colour variation on the originals?

Yeah they've messed those repros up pretty badly. Don't know how they would get the numbers wrong, lol. Unless it was deliberate to avoid some sort of licensing issue. Who knows??

You have to download them, but someone has already made up the package and it is in the community.

You know, I can't count how many visitors (non pinheads) to my basement have told me that the wear around the flipper buttons on my Tommy looks cool. Of all the things they could notice about all my machines I swear that has been mentioned the most. I am not going to ever "fix" it. It must ooze authenticity or something. I found it very interesting. Pinheads never mention it, and I never thought anything of it, but it stands out to normal people.

And they will probably be out of stock in two weeks.

Bend the tab holding the plastic away from the wireform a bit?

Edit - Although, looking closer, it seems to be resting right on the wireform that comes out to the mounting screw. Terribly unlucky balancing act.

That is superb.

Yes, and I took my version straight from the community board. It is fantastic.

Almost finished my rebuild. I put a Kruzman-cleared NOS playfield in.

Here's my silver ball target solution. It's so crazy it might just work.

Big chunk of super high density foam inside.

The switch operates perfectly and all seems ok. Early days though. It’s not spring steel so I expect fatigue problems at some point and possible snapping at the neck. See how we go.
