First task is to remove the playfield out of
the cabinet and place on my rotisserie that I had made. Removed all rubbers,
lane guides, plastics, pop bumper assemblies - Completely stripped all parts
from the top of the playfield. Cleaned playfield with Novus 2 and applied Canarba Wax. Decided not to attempt any playfield touch-ups at this early stage
of my resto work. Replaced all light sockets and bulbs in playfield. Replaced
Pop Bumper bodies and caps, Replaced lane guides,posts and all rubbers, Replaced
Flipper Bats with original type plastic. Replaced all plastics with repos from
PBR.
All Bumper Caps and Bodies, Bulbs
and Sockets were replaced as well as all Rubbers and Flippers.
APRON
Top apron was repainted, however
lower apron and ball shooter were in bad condition ( scratched and rusty ).
Unfortunately I was unable to locate another apron, I rubbed back apron and
shooter and applied 1 coat metal primer, 2 coats of undercoat , 2 coats of
acrylic white and then applied the Waterslide Decals,

Slide Decals at my

First task was to start at the cabinet /
back box and coin door - Removed coin door & Ball shooter, Stripped old paint
off cabinet and back box, fortunately the original art was visible, so I was
able to trace the artwork, all dents and cracks were filled , applied
2 coats of undercoat , 2 coats of water based enamel ( All these coatings
were applied by a small paint roller - This full process can be found at

at my Tips and Informationpage.
Coin Door and Ball Shooter surround were
stripped of paint and applied 1 coat spray metal primer, 1 coat of spray
undercoat and 2 coats of Chrome Spray paint. Replaced ball shooter & spring,
coin reject buttons and replay button as well as the coin slot surrounds and
decals.
Legs were lightly sanded with 800 wet and
dry sand paper using METAL MAGIC as the liquid.
As you can see in the pictures,
quite happy with the final result compared to how it looked before.
