THE PLAYFIELD
Purchased machine off ebay then drove to
Newcastle in my Mitsubishi Mirage to pickup the machine.
Probably rate the
playfield 6 out of 10 - consistent with the age of the machine. No broken
plastics except usual paint fade due to the age, had 1 metal and 1 plastic
flipper, Apron rusty and chrome parts a little rusty. My aim was to replace all
light bulbs and sockets, all plastic lane guides, bumper bodies and caps and all
rubbers. And replace both
flippers with the original.
 
Later on, I managed to locate
another playfield from Stu in Qld, It had been in storage for many years and was
covered in mould. This is how it originally looked ....
After removing the dust and mould, a good clean up
with Novus 2 and a final wax. The playfield came up, I think, a 9 out of 10.
Plastics were in excellent condition and cleaned up well as well as the original
Posts and Lane Guides. Only problem I had was that all the post and
plastics screws snapped off on removal, Full details on how I removed the broken
screws can be found at
Removing Broken Post
Screws
at
my
Tips and Information page.
All Bumper Caps and Bodies, Bulbs
and Sockets were replaced as well as all Rubbers and Flippers.
This is how the playfield
came up ......
