Today I worked on......

[crsedgar]

Been working on this for a few weeks now, can't find a photo of the before state but it was very rough, a lot of filing and sanding with some delamination which was a bugger to treat.

Finally installed my mirrored backglass from CPR which has been stowed away since Oct 2020.

The main cabinet and playfield swap will have to wait until after the shows. Will reassemble over the weekend give it a test before NERG.

My next project (TAF) will need new cabinet sliders on the rear as the ones it has are completely destroyed.

So cracked out the table saw this morning and made up another set. And as it was all set up and I had some timber left and knocked up a few more for future restores.

Added BK to the Pinwall of fame, flaking off like crazy so had to be replaced. Still looks good though

 

[AlanJ]

My favourite job, re-pinning headers.







I have found these proper molex "High Pressure" crimps are the best.

Fitted a ColourDMD to my recent acquisition PZ. I find these a real game changer and add a little modern day to the classics.

Well last night rather than today. Finally got round to installing the backglass that I've had waiting to go on since last summer!

Is there really a Purple Haze now?

Is there really a Purple Haze now?

Probs an age thing but totally lost on me

 

[Fubar]

Is there really a Purple Haze now?

Purple Haze sounds like the name of some fancy cannabis strain in an Amsterdam coffee shop...

 

[Jay Walker]

Reaching the "Big Bang" pay-off brings on an instrumental rendition of Hendrix' Purple Haze, with an animation of smoke on the display.

Made an AFM sign today. 5 hours later, wished i never bothered. Looks fairly decent tho....

 

[Colywobbles]

Can you tell what it is yet

 

[Itch]

Fitted art blades and shooter today to deadpool, first time removing a playfield , thanks @Neil McRae for them mate,

 

[Colywobbles]

Finished my ACDC speaker panel upgrade with decent 5in speakers and some of my sound to light speaker lights.
Look well cool when they in action.

 

[M4carp]

So I made a pair of rotisseries from joist off cuts, some angle that has been in the garage for over 20 years (knew it would come in handy) and some cheap lazy susans.
Just need to add some pins to lock in place and will screw a crossmember in place once a playfield is locked in.

Took about 20 mins to make them and at the right height for me to work on.

I didn’t work on the JY.. but who doesn’t like a flame polish!

 

[PinballDaze]

Bally Supersonic. Finally finished and back to its owner.
Sweated cobs.....

 

[M4carp]

So after receiving a new CPR playfield for FT I decided that I would fit a playfield protector on BK, playfield is in really good condition but with the usual cupped inserts being the only downside. Not spending my hard earned cash on new replica playfields again if I can help it!

Plays much better now with no issues, just need to make it a bit steeper as making the ramps much easier and I have to shim up the ramps yet.
£100 and 30 mins to do so can’t complain.

No more wobbling balls in those cupped inserts

 

[M4carp]

Let the fun begin, strip and repaint but it can wait until next week as it’stime.
Luckily a pretty solid cab and backbox.
Putting it on the sawhorses by myself was enough work for today

 

[J.C.Rox]

Finally got these bad boys cleaned up, wiped down and waxed, some new rubbers and switches and art blades from Retro Refurbs and about to put in my new cards from @johng2611 then my back can have a rest!

 

[Dave Bishop]

well.. I haven’t worked on it.. at all
But I have a top Man on the job..

 

[new forest pinball]

Guess the game........ in its correct red. Many don’t bother as it’s a hassle to source...... give it six days then STENCILLLLLLL

Fitted new PLG64 subs in PinBot & Robocop;


PinBot also had a new 4x10 fitted in the back box, came as a pair if anyone needs a single 4x10 speaker:

Robocop had a pair fitted a short while back, they’re pretty decent.
