    I decided to go all out on my CP. I restored the game including installing a new (NOS) playfield. The game looks and plays like a new machine. I included gold armor, mirror blades and special topper that I designed. This game is one of a kind now. If I were to sell this, it would just be a distant memory. All the hours spent gone.

    Quoted from Kwaheltrut:

    never done a full playfield swap. If I did, it would have to be a game that I was keeping. The amount of work that goes into that just isn't worth the return you might see selling it.

    Yeah it is a labor of love with huge self satisfaction. Fortunately for me CP is an easier game to do that to. All the coils just unplug so you can just leave the harness lay in the bottom of the cabinet. It took me 20 hours to do it.
