Simply awesome.

Think it'll be ready in time for Replay Expo?

Ah might not be able to make it. I'll see if i'm free. Pretty sure no cabs will make it up from this forum though as there's been no contact from Replay Admins AFAIK and I don't think all will be welcome put cabs in other stands

Might be my imagination, but the front of that still looks faded! Did someone scan a faded cab when they repro'd the artwork??

Update!

Well I haven't had an update for a few days and I had absolutely no time to do anything with the pin over the weekend, but I should have these restored legs soon!

I was going with gold and silver as I thought that would be cooler rather than all gold.

Watch this space as there's loads more sh*t to come!

Update



Well it's been a while since we last saw pix of the playfield teardown and rebuild. The awesome person doing it actually went on holiday for two weeks but last night I was emailed this picture.

Here's the rats nest still needed to be sorted out.

Update

Recieved the rails back from gold plating... Have got some pix next to a rail from the other playfield to show the difference.

Look at them on the playfield prior to it being stripped!

UPDATE



The playfield has been cleaned and polished

The mylar has been removed to fully polish the playfield up. So now it's been suggested that I may as well get it clearcoated, which will cost about £200.

So another expense but I guess it will be worth it.
