Main cabinet and backbox interiors have been fully cleaned out with compressed air, vacuuming, and washing-out, so no dust or debris are present. Coin door on front of game has been fully removed, disassembled into all individual parts, cleaned by hand, reassembled, and has had a brand new "Bally" coin door decal installed, just like when new at the factory. Coin door has all parts present and working for coin-operated functionality, or game can be run on "free play" as well (comes set up for "free play").
Legs have been fully stripped, refinished, and repainted in original Bally charcoal metallic acrylic enamel paint- a catalyzed automotive grade enamel- basically like a car finish- very durable and great-looking. Legs have been reinforced with threaded nuts added (welded) to the leg bottoms before painting, so that leg levelers have more support and won't strip-out like originals often did. Brand new heavy-duty leg levelers have been installed on all four legs.
Backglass on this game is effectively in "mint" condition with no blemishes like flaking ink, lifting/bubbling, or chips/scratches, like most used games have (see images below). Gorgeous condition, and the nicest glass we've ever seen on a Six Million pinball. This Six Million Dollar Man game has had it's backglass very well preserved over the years and still retains that original "new" look.
Playfield on this game in in outstanding condition. It is the original playfield that this game came with when it was made, and has been preserved extremely well over the years. The playfield was fully stripped and cleaned/polished, and has an excellent glossy shine to it. A few very small areas on the playfield were color-matched and touched-up to restore original artwork, including a small "skid mark" below the upper kickout saucer, and touching up the solid black areas around many of the light "inserts" or "lenses" in the playfield to restore a more smooth finished look to the artwork. A piece of protective Mylar was added below the upper kickout saucer to help protect the playfield surface against future wear/tear in this high-traffic spot. The playfield on this game plays lightning-fast and has a gorgeous shiny look to it.
Here is a detailed list of work that has been done on this game, followed by more details on parts and game modifications:
We have invested just over 40 hours of work in the full reconditioning of this game.

New coil sleeves installed in all coil mechanisms including pop bumpers, slingshot bumpers, kickers, and flipper units.
