Question: Is that backglass readily available, or is that a custom job? I think it looks much better than the original.
I saw another one not that long ago that had the backglass with a "mirror universe" theme; that was very nice too.

Quoted from Tallon:I have the best fiancé ever, not only did she run over with me to get this screaming deal on a machine, she also helped drag it up the stairs and load it in the car. She is a keeper boys. So is the game[quoted image]
Nice!

Scored a pin today that I've been wanting for a long, long time. Local (9 miles away.....no shipping!), well below market price, routed for its first 5 years and then spent the last 22 years with the family that I bought it from. I played a bunch of games on it and everything seems to work pretty well. Playfield looks great and cabinet has only a few dings here and there. Now I've just got to figure out how to get this behemoth down the stairs to my basement game room!

Weird how sometimes you never find a certain game and then suddenly multiple show up at the same time..
Now I have to find someone who wants to trade for a TZ

One of the best games ever made, still kicking myself for letting mine go 11 years ago. Enjoy!

Me = Jealous.
I just rewatched the entire series during my treadmill time as preparation for the Picard series. Now I am jonesing for this machine!
Picked this fun one up today that you don't see very often. Came with a bunch of NOS plastics too that I still have to go through. Needs to be cleaned and shopped out, but I'm excited to get it set up.

Great find. Enjoy. aaaaooogah!

Quoted from Colsond3:Got this bad boy flipping and cleaned up this weekend. Legs and other metal polished. Third display seems toasted, parts and bulbs on order. Still needs some work and love.
Would love a better playfield if anybody has or comes across a lead on one.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
colson,what did you use to clean the cabinet?it looks good.
Quoted from RWH:Odin that may be the nicest Comet I've ever seen, did you restore it, looks fresh out the box!
Nicest one I've ever seen too. Unrestored original condition. Also first Williams sticker on the glass I have seen since joining Pinside.
It came from the auction yesterday where a collector liquidated quite a few super nice condition machines that he had to have acquired decades ago.
Quoted from o-din:Unrestored original condition
Simply incredible, I assume you'll keep it so are you going to protect the PF with mylar or something. Damn I bet that plays like a dream, one helluva pickup brother.

careful, she looks nervous . . .
Quoted from RWH:I assume you'll keep it so are you going to protect the PF with mylar or something.
It's got the factory mylar on it which I could not tell until I removed the glass. I had a successful mylar removal on the Comet next to it, so this one may get the same treatment. They seem to have a very good topcoat under the mylar. Took a lot of work to remove all the glue. Gonna take some balls to start that procedure on this one though.
Yes it's a keeper after I bought the other one back a few weeks ago just to have one. Way better than Cyclone IMO.
Quoted from o-din:I had a successful mylar removal on the Comet next to it, so this one may get the same treatment.
If anything I might would look at the old one and see if I should add mylar in places the factory didn't or I'd not touch that PF. What a find.

These are 35 years old. The way I clean and wax, they will never wear out without the mylar. Only other place is around the pop bumpers and those stay. Reason for removing is the lighted inserts and the playfield really pops a lot more without it.
Oh, and not a dimple anywhere to be seen.

Haven't really started digging into Torpedo Alley yet but these were nice to find. All of them new old stock with the protective plastic still on. If my game doesn't need some of these I'll probably sell the extras that I have if anybody needs some.

Congrats, that thing looks nice! Totally going to drool on it when I invite myself over some random weekend this Spring
Here’s a few gems from my recent binge.
A couple of road trips, snowstorms, and packed trucks - love, pins, pinheads, and of course, the pin-adventures

Thinking I might need to get TZ! Looks great!
Thanks! Had my son ordering the colordmd as we left the driveway. No better sidekick or best friend than a kid who loves a pinball trip! What a heavy friggin game to lug upstairs!!!

Please do! You're overdue to get your ass over here!
We visited a pinsider friend a few weeks ago and the wife was completely enthralled with Mr. and Mrs. Pacman. We got it set up in the basement yesterday and couldn't be happier. I
Future Spa was a game I wasnt planning on being so impressed with. I bought it with a Paragon and was immediately drawn to Future Spa. Gorgeous machine, much faster than I was lead to believe as well. I'll post pics of the Paragon once we get it up and running.
