Treasurecove Restoration Stickers

I just found via RGP that Allen at Treasurecove has created these Label kits that are *custom* made for your pin.

So, when I go from trying to be a CARGPB to a Anal collector, then I’ll be ordering up a mess load of these.

Gots to Love the Re-Import

I usually take the last few weeks of the year off to work on my pins. I
managed to get the BSD up and running (which my family loves) and then I
moved onto the White Water I had just picked up a few months ago as a deal
along with a STTNG.

The STTNG is in pretty good condition.

This WH20? Cab is beat up (and soft), wiring is hacked, and the inserts
are doing this funky thing where they are lower than the rest of the playfield.

It’s a mess, but I love the game, so, I’ll nurse this one back to at least
semi health. After years of neglect in Germany, this pin just needs some TLC.

Oh, and I found this nice little “Wannabe” fuse. Guess when the fuse blew
the OP just decided to solder a wire. I was checking the fuses and was
surprised when I pulled this sucker out
