I always wanted a brand new EM but these days that is kinda difficult seeing the last one was made in 1979 and I have no interest in purchasing any SS/DMD machines for my collection. This machine will become the closet to that as it will pretty much get new "everything" in parts that is available.

Arrived yesterday.

Kudos to Wade Krause for excellent workmanship. My first new playfield from him, can't wait for his new Gottlieb Atlantis Playfield down the road.

Now waiting on the new K&Q Shay Backglass and the machine itself to arrive. Edit 8/10/15: It's here!

Contacted Pinball Rescue to order new Playfield Plastics as well.
(Update: New Plastics ordered 8/2/15)

I will take pics and post as things arrive.

Ken, congrats on the K & Q project. I have a Sweet Heart and Bowling Queen that is getting the works and just picked up a project Slick Chick that I'm starting on. Look forward to the updates. By the way, love the Sure Shot! Great playing game!

Glad your having fun with it Dave. It was really fun and my friends enjoyed it as well and miss it. If I ever get room for more than 6 pins I would consider buying another Gottlieb Sure Shot or go with a Bank A Ball. I played Sweet Hearts recently and Bowling Queen at a pin party and I would lean towards SH as the better player IMHO, both were fun. Good luck on your Slick Chick project as that is a real good game which my wife likes playing as well.

Sorry for the fuzzy pic as I will take a better one when the machine arrives as I packed up the new glass until then. The glass does look amazing, great job by Shay.
