GrizZ's Ultimate Guide To Popeye - The good , the bad and the spinach

Shame you can’t get the matching colour ramp from upper playfield but ok if you have the metal ramp.
Would like to see what the translucent blue looks like.
Looks better though than original though.

I don't mind the upper one contrasting.
Some White ones surfaced a while ago. I think they are sold out now.

Good news for Popeye fans ....a clever Pinsider has 3D modelled the often broken upper playfield Animal Target lamp plastic. I believe he will be selling them. Link to the post below the pic

Great mine is broken
Sad news that the person responsible for colourising Popeye for ColorDMD has passed away in his mid-50’s.

Far too young. Makes you realise how little time we all really have.

I am reliably informed that my old spinach guzzling Popeye now resides at The Pinball Office ! The very machine that drove me to the brink of pinball madness
So get on down there, say hello to the old sailorman , play it , scratch your head, love / hate it ......and wonder just what damage has GrizZ done to his mind that he rates this game so much
Stay frosty and eat yr greens yeah ! Toot toot !

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising Popeye, and saying, 'Glory to Popeye and Sgt. GrizZ in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will and spinach to all. Toot toot'

Same author Joe'sClassic Video Games also has a repair log / video for that machine. He has a bunch of pinball repair videos worth checking out.
And yes I am aware that 6 years on , and the machine sold
...I am still banging on about Popeye I think it broke something in my brain.
