KJS Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Well due to unforeseen circumstances I have a couple of weeks down time so have started restores on machines I have wanted for some time. Funhouse, Terminator and Firepower all online. Firepower brings back so many memories of Clancys take away at Dicky Beach in Caloundra on the way to school. Cashing in some coke bottles for a couple of games and then on the way home stealing the same bottles from the back of the shop to cash in again for some more games! Firepower, Stella Wars and Galaga, Scramble and Defender were all in there... First cab off rank is Funhouse. Going some customisations with this one and T2. Will post pics as I go. I am replacing alot of parts with new so will list up any ok bits in my parts for sale thread as I go. Wish I was as fast as Robm And Woka....I dont know how they do it!!!

KJS Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Ok. So Funhouse is getting there. Cab finished. If you are a 100% original only person look away now.....please... I decided the blue cabinet theme didn't really work for me. I like the fact Rudy goes from friendly to scary and wanted to emphasize this with my restore including the decals, lighting and pinsound mix eventually. The speaker panel and apron were already black so I went with this. Alot of mucking around and cost after initially buying Mr P next gen set and then going from there. Basically it all had to be re drawn. Anyway we got there and I am really happy with the results now I see them on. Exactly what I was looking for. New playfield is being populated now. I think this is the only one of a few games where you can go a bit colour mad with rubbers and lighting with out ending up with technicolour spew effect so have been doing alot of customs there. Ramps were sent away and chromed and all trim will be plated chrome bar the hinges, shooter plates and glass back channel which I didn't feel worked in my theme. Reckon I am about half way done but back to work next week so probably another few weeks yet of nights and weekends. Rudy is getting a custom paint job but not crazy scary like the one on pinside....although I think it is pretty cool. I'm collecting all the original parts in a box and will throw them up for sale in my parts for sale thread soon. Most plastics, original ramps and new next gen decals etc. Next update will hopefully be powered up and playing. Happy Sunday....life is good :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJS Posted June 8, 2018 Author Share Posted June 8, 2018 I think it could be very polarising Jono! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I think it could be very polarising Jono! Yeah, probably. At least you aren't getting slammed. Oops, I maybe spoke to soon...Friday beer-o-clock session starts soon. Jokes aside, I think it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJS Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Well this seems to be dragging on..and on.. and on.....Rudy is possessed I am sure of it. Anyway just slipped the playfield in the cab and tested some light circuits. Hopefully by next weekend it will be Admit One! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railways Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Looks very nice and shiny Kurt. Cab is a black version I see. EDIT: Apologies but re-read back a few posts and there are better pics of the black cab a couple of weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJS Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 We have sound and lights....now I see how I went guessing the right led style type colour etc along the way..mmm few to tune up. All switches good. One lamp cross cct issue somewhere. Also Rudy's mouth wiring is back to front...open when it should be closed....must check sons wiring...same issue :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn70 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I absolutely love the look of a chrome edition T2. I assume it's the black chrome look? Cannot wait to see this fully completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJS Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Thanks Glen. Getting there slowly. Fixed up some cabinet flaws last week and made up a new speaker panel from scratch and finished fitting off the base cabinet. Rails go on last to protect them. Unfortunately playfield delayed so I will just get the cabinet done and drop existing playfield in for now to do some terminating......hopefully this weekend or next.[ATTACH]132456[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn70 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 This will look absolutely sensational. One day when I get myself sorted in my new house with purpose built pinball/games room - I would really like to do a black chrome T2 restore. Looks awesome champ.
