Any Williams Turkey Shoot fans out there? restoration underway...

It's in various stages... cabinet, stencils, coin door, control panel artwork etc.

Nobody likes Turkey Shoot?

Not true! Great game. Gets almost non-stop play at my game parties.

I have some NOS parts for the underside of the gun if needed.

It will be interesting to see how you tackle the feather box and how it comes out.

So you decided on the wood panel versus the molded panel?

Cool, i'll let you know when i put the gun back together, thanks.

I've never seen a Turkey Shoot for sale that has a control panel that looks like that. If i found one i'd buy it.

Great work. This is one of my favorite games. I owned one years ago and got rid of it to free up some space and I've been kicking myself ever since. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Hey Fiz,

Just an FYI, the molded CP is NOT a drop in replacement for a non-molded CP cabinet. I liked the molded CP better too, and I tried swapping CP's but the molded CP did not fit correctly into the non-molded cabinet. I didn't look into exactly what and how extensive it would be to make it fit though. Just wanted to warn you in case you considering putting a molded CP on, you would have to do some cabinet modifications.

So, got any of those non-molded Turkey Shoot CPO's available for sale?
 
Love the thread. I have a Turkey Shoot I am planning to restore as we'll. the issue for me is that it is missing the monitor glass and I ave been looking for a nice one for over three tears with no luck.

I would buy one of the cops you are making as we'll.
 
I love mine. Took awhile to find all the parts but she's all together and a permanent fixture in the arcade!
I decided to leave the feathers out. My bezel is nice and I hear that the feathers will damage the paint. Great job, Great game!
 
Thanks for the heads up Joe. If and that's a BIG if I found a molded cp I could make modifications, especially at this stage of building a new cabinet. Later would be tricky but I think doable.

Yes, I'll have my test print back soon. Ill have to document how to apply it as well as it needs to be sliced just right to go on.

Great game, and amazing work on that CPO. I'm just about to start this process myself, I'm only hoping it looks half as nice as yours.

I'm curious as well about how the feather box will turn out. Looking forward to seeing the finished pics.
 
I also applied the a new CPO to the wood control panel that i'm sending to Joe M.

Here are the steps it takes to apply.

measure 18 1/4 from bottom of CPO, and 5 11/16 from bottom of cpo
