    Default Sanyo Butterfly project complete

    See images. I made some mistakes when mapping out the playfield and lasercutting the plexiglass, so no upper spinners (among a few other things.) Also need to figure what to do with the damaged lower faceplate by the ash tray. The tulips are a little sticky, too - even after cleaning.
    All original parts were cleaned, and the butterfly repainted to a more contemporary palette. Spinners are new 3D printed. After reading a few things on here on peoples' feeling about the expired tax stickers, I'm going to start looking for a way to keep them on these machines.

    Overall I'm happy with the final results - it's a nice updated vintage machine that reveals the mechanics and play through. I often think of the Ship of Theseus theory when cleaning and changing up these machines; it's a balancing act on far to go in either direction between restoration and rebuilding. Hope you like it!
