Here's the continuation of the restore with a few pictures. First up is a picture of the playfield complete with shoehorn repair, apron and a few other parts. I think I was very fortunate to have had a great playfield to work with from the beginning.
The cabinet did not require a repaint. It just needed Nifti, some rags and elbow grease. Later on I put the finishing touch of a good polish with Mr Sheen. It can really bring out the reds and blacks. The legs are simply polished, and the door was disassembled, cleaned and reassembled.
Inside the cabinet was simply washed, and allowed to dry (outside). The baseboard with all the electrics has been removed. This makes it easier to work on later on (on my workbench). It takes 10 minutes to properly clean the inside of the machine.
Under the bonnet - The door has been cleaned and note the two plastic protectors that surround the coin switches on the inside of the door. They are always missing from these games. Special note - Look on the Paragon - There's a Novus 2 bottle. WOW you say... The only place that carried Novus products in Australia (at the time I did this work), was "Novus windscreens". So I used to drive to the Novus workshop near my place and pay $15 ! Sometimes, they had to order it in for me, as not all the stores had it all the time.
Next Update - Steppers !
