The owner commissioned @el_timbo86 to restore the playfield, and as per usual, the finished playfield restoration is incredible. Remember, this was a well worn original playfield, and the completed playfield looks better than new. Before someone asks -"Why didn't you just use a Mirco ?" - Check the photos.. and I've heard too many horror stories..

All spots / marks / streaks etc are from the overhead fluros.










Stunning result. Will look great when installed !


The Loom is washed in the Ultrasonic, so that's why it looks new. Some of the Lamps sockets will fail as part of this process, and some will improve with the surface rust and corrosion removed. Time to map out the GI. The #1363 lamps sockets were all replaced in the end.




Playfield components such as switches and targets are aligned and positioned. The blue painter's tape with sharpie marks are left untouched by the ultrasonic. Normal tape sometimes does not survive.





Plated and rebuilt parts are put into position. The flipper bases are not the correct ones, but they are put there for now.
