I got to celebrate my birthday today, because family attending has to work on Monday.

Knowing that we have a bunch of people coming over, I have to clean up the game room. While I am putting the Centipede back together, the wife is off preparing food or so I thought.

Well, much to my surprise the wife snuck out this morning and picked up a Xenon in restorable condition. She planned it, hid it, and made the whole deal ($350) all on her own. She carried the head up to the bedroom and hid it while I was working on the Centipede down in the game room.

One of the all time best birthday presents ever.

Sweet, she told me about it last week and I hoped she'd be able to get it for you. Happy Birthday to you. - Barry
 
That playfield does not look that bad, had no luck looking for a new playfield. You should bring that over here and have it touched up but painter:eek:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE! I thought you had one of these allready? I'm not surprized your wife did this for you.. Your a really lucky guy! plus she is a power lifter lol!
 
Happy Birthday Dave! High-five for cool wives who get their husbands games for their birthday! I can't wait to see you restore it to good form. You already have an awesome pin collection with Gorgar in the mix and now it will be even more awesome.

Thank You.

Happy birthday dood. Sweet pin, all wives should be taking notes from this thread :)

Yes, they should.:D

Although Xenon is in the repair section of the house, Flash Gordon will come first because I have all of the parts for the Flash Gordon. Xenon will have to wait, until I can get all of the parts for her. She will be a ground up restore. There will be pics-a-plenty of both.
 
Very cool story Dokert. A few years ago, my wife bought me my Spy Hunter pin. I was along with her during the purchase, but nonetheless, she told me it was my birthday present. My wife too is a keeper. :)
 
I must add that she also grilled Burgers and Johnsonville Brats. My daughter made potato salad too. I ate so much, I had no room for CAKE.

Got a Blue ESR kit from my sister. Looks like a fun project.

Excellent birthday present! My girlfriend bought me my dedicated JrPac for my birthday a few years back.
Dave, I have a couple of the correct coin slot inserts if you want them. Looks like one of yours is a different color?
