Sophia Single Shot Resto - Before and After

[mxp01]

I recently finished the restoration of a Sophia Single Shot Model "A" with a ball recycler. Cosmetically, the job is complete. I replaced the play field, stained/re-colored the cabinet, had the metal parts rechromed, cleaned up the plastic parts, put the nails and assorted items through the rock tumbler, and repainted several plastic parts. Mechanically, I'm going to need some advice (next few emails), but overall it appears finished.

I had it shipped to me in Iraq, so I had to do some scrounging and MacGuyer-style improvisation on a few things, which should explain the five months this took to complete.

Here are a few photos, sorry I don't have more "befores" to share:

I like the looks of the new cell. Is that an actual pachinko pattern...or a design of your own creation?
Thank you for your service!

I purchased the cell from Pachinko Planet - delivered to me here in Iraq!
