Left drop target bank being rebuilt.
Pop bumpers being rebuilt.
Playfield edge repair. The excess Gorilla Glue has been scraped off, and the edges have been puttied up with wood filler. A little sanding, a little grey paint, and this edge looks a whole lot better, and with the Gorilla Glue in there, it should last forever.
