Test fitting the new backglass revealed a small problem. It didn't fit!
The new paint on the backbox is super thick, needed to remove a layer on one edge that is not visible.
New backglass looks amazing, very happy with how it's coming together.

Gottlieb Soccer, before photos of the headbox, complete with backglass. We have a new backglass to be installed when the time comes.

Gottlieb Soccer, quick video showing the red fire pearl, looks amazing in person. The purists will be appalled, however I don't like patina and believe that one of the jobs of a cabinet is to attract players, why not make it attractive.

Been way to long since I've done anything here, will attempt to rectify as I have several projects on the go.
Will start with a Gottlieb Soccer from 1975.
We have never seen this machine working and the condition from which we started is almost throw away as you will see in due course.

Currently have the headbox based in white with a fire red pearl finish, really has a beautiful sparkle in the right light.
See photos of after, note there is still the artwork to be applied.

Almost finished repairing a star wars pin2000 for my boss. Not a bad game actually. Turns out I don't play one handed very well though.
Monitor working again, lots of new parts and a blue theme to suit our company colour..

Had swap around of late, bit of a clean up and some action going on. We have a beautiful near new Ghostbusters premium pinball to add to the collection. Fantastic game, so much fun. Plus a space set aside for something special on its way. Also picked up our Road Kings playfield which was restored by the best, looks incredible!!
