thejudge Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The hardest part is getting started, now it should get easier 🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grefla Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Looks very similar to how my Medusa started off. It’s worth the effort. Keep going. Just remember it will be a beautiful machine when you finish it. By the way, and really not meaning to hijack the thread so PM me rather than ruining @Pinoffski’s thread but if anyone knows of a crappy fathom in a similar state to this bad boy that I could get my hands on, I’d love for that to be my next project and end up sat next to my Medusa and centaur. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedrok Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Ya think that’s bad. Shoulda seen the playfield. Good to see you getting into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railways Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 If there ever was a title worth saving from being scrapped then Fathom is it IMO. My fave game. Good onya Dave and I'll be watching with interest. At least you've now got one missing part. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators furballx Posted August 28, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2021 Great thread Davo. Keep posting pics mate. I never get sick of seeing good pins bought back to life. Also, look at @spacies Tron cab restore in the arcade section. Some awesome work done there repairing a badly damaged cab when it could be saved. Might give you some ides elsewhere in your restore. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
