Williams Blackout Pinball Project
pinoffski:
To give some info on how i acquired this pinball..
I had a blackout pinball lined up and unfortunately it was withdrawn from sale .
As i am on the road for most of the year i allways ask everyone about pinball's.
For a year or more i have been looking for one .
My work mates and i dropped in to a pinball dealer to have a look at some games
and i asked the owner have you got a blackout pinball and he said yes i was shocked ..
He gave me a price and i said i would think about it.
So the next week i was down in the area i had a better look at it and after a lot of negotiation we worked out a price .
I was going to buy it as i had already purchased a backglass a i thought the other one was coming.
pinoffski:
Purchased parts and a Manuel as there is no download for one ..
Will scan Manuel if you haven't got one Nino @Strangeways
pinoffski:
Just a small update ..
Finally removed the glue from the playfield .
Was just using Isocol and flour and it was taking hours
I got some De-Solv-it and with flour and using a old credit card the glue was easier removed
pinoffski:
After removing the mylar i noticed that most of the inserts were loose
They have cupping and will have to flatten them .
I am unsure on how to do this ?

If you need photos to create stencils, just let me know. My cabinet is very good, just needs a new backglass.
The key to this project is to not become overwhelmed. Work on different stages over time. Even if it become difficult, walk away and return to the game another day. The end product is a rare and interesting title.

You could just wax and buff the cabinet and it will look great !
