No detail was overlooked but please note this is not a high-end restore. This pin would look right at home in a lineup. But you can’t eat off the inside of the cabinet and although the cabinet is totally solid the area under the head is not perfect but with the head up you can’t tell. The back was repaired due to some wood loss around the bottom / back so as part of the repair I glued and nailed in a ¼ x 1” wood strip along the bottom back edge to ensure strength. Probably overkill but that’s how I do things. See pic.
Cash on glass or bank transfer accepted. Sorry no trades.
If picking up, I can help with breakdown & loading. If you’re within a reasonable distance from where I live, hand delivery can be arranged with a professional third party for a fee. Long distance shipping OK, the game will be strapped to a pallet and blanketed by the same pinball pro.
