Restoring the playfield

Well, I am working a full time job now, so I haven't had time to work on the game as much or accurately document my work on it, but I have completed the main board restoration, have 4 score reels left to do in the head, and misc. things left on the playfield.

I sanded and puttied in the playfield and with the help of my wife, did the major job of completely repainting the playfield. Here's a shot of the upper playfield before and after touchups, and after fully reassembling playfield.

Overall view before touch up.

Here is an overall view before and after touch up.
