Before: Pretty bad shape. Missing upper Jackpot supply tray. Missing front overflow switch. Discolored play field...But what's there works.

During: The only casualty was the Lower Race Plastic Ball Guard and some superglue fixed that up. I'm glad I numbered the bags...Made installation a breeze. I was most nervous about actually removing the playfield from the frame and putting back all the mechanisms. I was hoping I would figure out where everything went. Had to do some looking around to see how certain pieces fit... But it came together without too much trouble. My arms are sore from replacing that "race" and all the nails back in...

After: Ready to PLAY!!! Just have to do some final Nail Adjustments as I find issues during game play.

Side By Side with Little Sis. Don't they make a great looking pair? All that's left is to install the Gaku Counters I have on order. That should be fun.

Will I do it again? I don't know. There is a great feeling of satisfaction...but I don't know if I wanna go through all that work again. I'm gonna take some time and enjoy the fruits of my labor.
