It will be awesome to see it re-painted. I hate it when people paint over the old cabinet artwork. I sold a Roller Disco a few years back, went to do a repair recently and the owner had sprayed it black !!!
Love the fact that you will give this machine a new lease of life.
The playfield looks interesting, looks like a fun game.

I would have walked out in disgust... ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^
Mr Pinbologist:
I cant believe what some people do to these machines regarding repainting them different colours ^.^ ^.^. i've seen some truly horrible "repaints" over the years. 15 yrs ago i almost sold my Abracadabra.. til i found out the guy wanted to repaint the game to suit the decor of his rumpus room... after which i promtly changed my mind!
Sorry for getting off track.. cant wait to see the progress on this game, looks like it'll come up a treat. I love seeing these old gems being restored back to their former glory.

Hi Guys,
I started on the playfield today.. I used metho and gently rubbed off a lot of the gunk that was caked on it. However, even though i took heaps of crap off it, it still remains dirty and im tooo scared to rub any harder. Whats the next step?
Do i try metho again?
Do i spray it on and leave it overnight? !@#
Do i move to novus?
Do i try magic eraser?
Any other product i should try before i get into magic eraser?
Sorry about all the questions in 1 post but not sure what to do
It does look heaps better though but i want perfection and its not even close :lol

Rob,
Keep the questions coming - you will find each of us has different ideas - I'm a real fan of ME and Eucalyptus oil, not used at once! The oil first then the ME, then Novis, them some wax!
