Doctor Who Update

doctor whoAn update on Doctor Who that was mentioned previously.

This game was a disaster and I put wanted to have it ready for the IFPA Oursler benefit tournament at Pizza West on April 13, 2014.  I got it done and we raised $390 for the Ourslers.  Below are some photos and comments on the game.

The game cleaned up pretty good.  The cabinet is not great, but since the playfield was in decent shape, the game plays nicely and so far it is holding up after a few day of public play and a lot of play at the tournament.

Special thanks to Cliff Rinear for donating protectors for the Time Expander and the upper ramp.

Some after and before photos:

Update:  After a few weeks, the DMD was pretty much shot and I replaced it.
