XENON has arrived
« on: May 19, 2009, 02:51:21 PM »
Well as the title suggests my Xenon has arrived, delivered about 11 oclock so have had a tinker with it already.
tested the power supply before switching it on, everything seemed to be in speck, i done a general inspection
of the machine, everything seemed ok so i powered it up, everything ok so had a couple of games.

the cabinet is a bit rough will need to be resprayed i think 5/10
play field is filthy, a little bit of wear, a couple sunken inserts 7.5/10
back glass is perfect as far as i can see 9.5/10

scores may change as i look at it further, some pics for you.

Ian.

Nice score, Ian  @@*

There's looks to be a bit of playfield "wear" between her legs near the flippers. What would be your initial plans to repair ?

Grats, and you did great for money! I would be happy to have paid more for it in that condition.

and they delivered for no extra cost, if i had got it from Vic or NSW then it would have been another 3 to 400 dollars

Agreed. Awesome looking backglass.

I'd be more inclined to keep the regular chasing bulbs around the outside. Replace the 4 in the middle with yellow 44's and replace the bulbs around the ring with blue 44's.

Damn it. shut up already!. I want one!  %.%

looks like it had started to wear and the op has then covered the play field with a full mylar, thank god for mylar(in a way) other wise this play field would be complete shit. So i may remove the mylar and then do some touch ups, but not yet for a while, i think i will listen to some think music for a while on this one, may look into a clear coat.

How bad is the Mylar Ian?

Is it dull or starting to lift.

The mylar on my Police Force was quite dull.  I gave it a hit with the polishing kit from Treasure-Cove and it got quite a nice shine to it.  Not like brand new, but certainly lost the dullness.

I've read elsewhere that some Xenon playfields are on their way to Australia as well. 

I really want one of these too, along with a HH to go alone side the BH once its done...Just sitting ajacent to a Hyperball too (one day!)

thought i might try and polish it a bit first, no lifting or bubbling at all.
