Just a quick update as it's been a while The game is finished other than the apron but I'm saving that for when I need to do a couple of others at the same time. It had a few niggling issues that I couldn't sort so after a quick trip to The Legend's it's all working

Massive thanks to Dave @DAD for helping to get the parts, John @Biff for helping me work through some of it's issues and all round EM advice and The Legend @pinballmania for getting her fully working.....top work gentlemen!

The game will be at Pinfest in a couple of weeks for everyone to play and hopefully enjoy Here's a few pics to call this done....

After being on here for over a year, it's the first time I've ventured into the shop logs section, so this is the first one I've read. Just gone through the whole log and it's been a very interesting read, as well as educational - I'd not heard of magic sponges or superlube before!

I've also not generally been so interested in EM machines, but seeing the solid build quality/engineering, knowing the work that you've put in, and the fantastic end result, I couldn't help thinking that I'd love to see this in the flesh, and maybe have a game. Then you say that it'll be at Pinfest! Looking forward to having a go.

Great job, and thanks for writing it all up.

...goes off to no doubt spend hours reading other shop logs...
