That looks smart!
How did you clean those boards so well?

J.D.

One board is brand new but the bigger one i cleaned with metho and a toothbrush then once the metho is dry i give them a rub with a dry cloth to shine them up

Out of one disaster, another game has helped been saved - so not a bad result!  ;)

That's one fine BG. I'm going to jump head first into an SS project. Your BG looks near perfect, will you just leave it as is or will you do naything to avoid it flaking? If you leave it as is, is there any tricks to minimizing flacking in the future via lamp heat etc?

Also where did you purchase the ball guide arch and stop parts? Thanks

This backglass will be left as is and ill replace all the globes with #47s to minimise the heat.

 The parts were ordered from the guy i on ebay who sells the lift channels
