     Jennifer likes that....Ya STFU off, (dumbheads). Anyway back to the Getaway...That pic. is an aftermarket translite (Got one for my B/day)
Its a little naughty, not original and the speed sign is on the wrong side of the street. I do like it however, I did also find the PDF file for the
original art in case I do change my mind (opinions?)....I also obtained the revolving cop light assembly for the top, a hard to find part.
The wood on top is pretty burnt and will have to be changed.

 This is not a build thread  merely a update for some of you who might remember this machine, and were curious as to its fate....  After a detailed analysis, it seems the whole machine was apparently built  quickly and cheaply  (at the factory) Not really designed to withstand the ravages of time, (more like disposable and cost saving.) add to that the water damage from the fire guys, and dry rot set in, So, Jennifer late in the nights, has built a new cabinet of maple .... So yes it is in good hands and will live again. 8)

     Not really much to see yet, just a new cab and boxes of parts to be fitted.... But to the curious, Next weekend is its first day outside, so I"ll do some just for you. ;D
Now the bad news, HS2 apparently has some kind of sub culture of hoarders, because the boards are like really hard to find, So in the interest of running OEM, I had to source a MPU from Dracula, and replace the driver boards with aftermarket (so far) only found about half of them.... And the wire, still in shock on that subject.

yes. the entire pinball lineup is made to be assembled as quickly as possible. in fact, the IDC connectors, (chosen for their ease of use and speed of installation) are the most common source of failure in the history of connectors.

the cabinets are stamped out as fast as possible, lots aren't even glued... just stapled.

you have part numbers of boards/parts you are looking for? i think I have a getaway that was trashed a number of years ago.

     I work on multiple machines all at once, and next to this is a pre war Wurlitzer, It is like culture shock to go from old world German craftsmanship to this pile, Sometimes I get so depressed Jenn has to just leave And get a cherry Slurpee, So your unbiased opinion validates my analysis and I AM NOT CRAZY!.... However not to poo on this "holy grail", Doing it better is easier said than done, The top of HS2 is actually quite complex and in hindsight of my cab build should have been milled first and then assembled (that's why next weekend it goes outside to remove the top.)... Yes baby makes mistakes too. ::)

Not really sure where that came from....But no, that's the real deal, Built from scratch with cured and dried maple ply, The top beings it is actually quite complex was made with oak. The pic doesn't do it justice. (Sorry about that).

I guess people are so used to seeing other cut up cheap woodgrain particleboard here, that seeing real veneered wood causes them pain.  ;D

Oh yes that's me, little dizzy from paint fumes, and taking bad pics late in the night, (sorry about that) Jenn should have done some kind of "celibration" pose for the ocasion, cause that thing came out really nice. ;)

I’m not trying to be snarky, you’ve done very good work on this.  It looks faded, though.  Some suppliers had issues with this...

I didn't think snark, and Jenn needs all the help she can get with this thing, (Now I will be worried about color too, THX ::)) ....If you look closely the edges are cut back onto the cab about 3/16" so it can be painted again (to hide the cut edge, and bring it up to sticker level before clear).... I don't have a color match to compare this thing to as a real machine, so not real sure what to do at this point if the color is wrong.

Well PBJ, you certainly have a discerning eye for pins,  I made a few calls and got a pantone color code and you are right, the color is not quite as red as it should be although its close, and apparently the original machines  (and aftermarket decals ) did suffer from bad cases of fade, most likely the red pigments were the culprit.... Since this was a smoldering basket case money suck I think Ill just live with it, The vinyl seems quality screen and the clear will help protect it from UV going into the future.
