Hey Guys... I'm going through every inch of my FT pin and getting it perfect...

I'm down to the cabinet trim at this point. I am seriously considering deviating from factory and going with all black (side rails, lock down bar, and legs). I think black would look great on this particular pin.

What do you all think?
 
Would probably look good! I went with blue flippers and it looked so freaking cool. I REALLY miss my fishtales. Wish I could find one to buy without play field wear and white sideart :(

Yeah... once I got my game working 100% I got all excited to really put the spit and polish on it. I've dented side rails from someone dropping the back box on it, the legs are filthy... but the artwork and playfield are super nice. I have one insert on the right side of the boat that has one chip... other than that... it's perfect. I just fixed all the plastics, added protectors and cleaned and polished the field and put a new ring kit on it. I didn't realize how fast this would get with it cleaned and with new rings... its really a different game!!!

The last thing I need is a new glass top.

Its nice to have it perfect... I've not done this yet to any of my 3 pins and this was a huge revelation for me in terms of owning a pin. Take one machine at a time and do it right!
 
Yes it ends up being a ton of work but its worth it! I really miss fishtales. Guard those inserts in the center (the fish and the tackle box) wax them often and keep everything clean. I hope CPR does fishtales sometime. I would buy one for sure.
