And introducing......

Ed (The Bingo Wizard) on the left and Frans (The Bingobeast) on the right with one beautifully and faithfully restored County Fair. I kow that they've restored lots of different machines but I have it on good authority that they put a little bit of their souls into each one...!

So it now goes on 'test', which is an obvious euphemism for ('we're going to play on it for a couple of weeks!).

I think they've earnt that privilige.

Two great guys.

In all its glory!

I don't think words are needed.......

Finished (2)

Note the proper (original) and restored legs

Finished (1)

It finally all comes together

Magic screen-in situ

Check it out - how great does it all look now!

Head - back door

Again, it's the attention to detail. Check this out, every solder has been replaced and re-soldered, wiring looms bundled up and tagged and new (easily read) labels

Magic Screen

Like everything else, looking sparkling and clean and for those who like the detail - look at the repainted white backboard

Wiper motor

Unsurprisingly, looking not just clean but very near brand new...

More evidence....!

Amazing attention to detail!

So it's true...!

Now I remember seeing a post by Hugh at Oldbinger and it's obvious that he and Ed work to the same high specifications - 'strip everything out and clean it thoroughly'

Shutter

Good picure of the shutter and shutter motor

Cabinet interior

Looking exceptionally clean and tidy

Head (back door)

Once again, it all looks too darn complicated!

Head - let's begin at the beginning

It suddenly struck me that it's going to look awfully crowded when it's put back together

The head - where to begin?

I think this is a great photo - I don't know if it's typical of the electro-mechanical challenges (I suspect this isn't amongst the worst) but to a novice like me it looks fairly daunting

It's not just about artwork.....

At this point Ed knows that there's going to be some challenges for him resolve...

Head and cabinet reunited (2)

From another angle and looking so GOooood!

Head and cabinet reunited

Doesn't that look fantastic (note temporary legs)

Head - artwork

I think you'll agree, this looks really great.

Cabinet - artwork

Now it's beginning to look like something special!
