A lot of work has been done on this game that i need to update. I've stepped away from the cabinet and started the underside of the playfield. It was decided to not only rebuild all the assemblies, but also to replate them as necessary. I do this "in house" as platers have a nasty habit of losing small parts. First thing to do is document everything in photos. here's what I need to address ;
I start to strip the mechs and begin dissassembly, degreasing, cleaning and removing the old zinc plating.
Interesting spring !
Here's the results of my "backyarder" or "in house" plating !
Here's the center DT assy replated and re assembled. One of the "in-line" DT assy is next to it for reference.
It is a lot of work, but the underside of the playfield was not at the standard of the CPR installed playfield. It was really sloppy !
