Well Centallica said it wasn't up to my standards... so I fixed that.
The picture doesn't show it well but it has new pf shine all over it. Even the plastics. Flame polished etc. If you saw the colour fade difference side by side to the old pf you would not believe how much a pf fades.
This was an undrilled pf and the entire back is full. There is litterly no spare room to put anymore on it. I now understand why there are still Fire! NOS pf's around. You would have to be an insane pinhead to attempt a pf swap on Fire!.
Unfortunately not yet Mark - didn't even get the playfield and plastics out of the box yet . It's summertime and with a 7 year old in the house, pinball restoration must wait until school and early bedtimes reign again . Plus there are a few more projects lined up also but it is next after the Rocky and Bullwinkle is back together.
September can't come soon enough ! (from a pinball point of view )
I will post picks of the machine (which is 99% done) when the brass bell comes back from the brass refinisher.
The ragtime music is fantastic on this game. What is really cool is if you get high score you get the full ragtime arrangement with all three in game movements and a finale.
Tough game, always on the flippers, lots to do for a System 11. Right now I am liking this more than Pinbot.
A buddy of mines dad, had a restaurant with this game when we were going to high school. We used to go there after closing and play it for hours. Great game. Yours looks like it's in pretty good shape.
Beer? Hmmm. Not a big beer drinker. If you have some good Scotch then I probably can find some time. I know you must think my faculties were impaired to put this much effort into a System 11 machine.
Mmm another scotch fan. Will take note of that when I need a fix (pin that is) Recently found something quite interesting if you like spyeside. Not at LCBO AFIAK .. but 'Aberlour a'bunadh Speyside scotch' Very nice. Next time I'm in T.O. will be picking up the Glenrothes 91. Tried the 92 and enjoyed it.
Oh and the fire turned out super nice btw. Thought I should bring the thread back on track
