That is one shiny cab. You definitely put that paint booth to good use. Looks great.

Quoted from WeatherbyMAG:Hope to have HS finished up tonight.
Like I said before, it needs new plastics desperately & new pop caps etc. But That's simple stuff owners can do down the road when they want to sink more $ into it.

That hardtop looks great. Is that one of the outside edge products?
Quoted from WeatherbyMAG:Yes, it's an Outside Edge Hardtop. It looks great, fit was pretty darn good & I'm sure the fitment issues were more to do with the PF variations from Williams rather than the HT. These Williams games are absolute JUNK in my opinion. The build quality & engineering of how stuff was made is pathetic compared to older Pinball machines. & I'm not even talking about their over complicated wiring.... I'm talking about simple design stuff like the plastics, how the ball guides are mounted to the PF etc.
Everything about this game just feels "Chincy" & like it can fall apart at any moment. Screws they used here & there are woefully inadequate, wood is all soft etc. Diode manufacturers in Chicago back the day must have loved Williams.
I will never work on another one of these era Williams games again. (Other than I have to put lamp sockets & ground braid on the Mirco Sorcerer I clear coated for a Friend & after that, he is on his own for re-assembling it)
Other people can have fun working on this crap. I'll go back to my Early Solid States & be happy.
Took this one as far as I'm going to last night & It's ready for pickup. Turned out pretty nice for what it is, & I'm sure owner will enjoy it, I guess that's all that really matters. Williams Games are damn fun, Sorcerer is actually one of my Favorite games from the '80s to play, but I will never like their design flaws. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
The result looks great. I’ve been thinking about finding a project so I can try putting on a hard top. One of these days, but probably not till early spring.
The only Williams I’ve ever restored was a ‘65 Big Chief.
