More Cabinet work

Most of the hardware is simply washed and tossed into the tumbler with some flitz. The door is regrained on the outside and polished on the inside. The coin lock out assemblies are missing, but are not required on home games, so I plan on leaving this "as is". The new ball shooter assembly is installed, and with the polished legs, it is starting to look very nice !








New flipper buttons (and the door) and of course new flipper switch contacts. No stone unturned !


The lock down bar assembly needed the old plating removed and some time spent cleaning up and polishing. took a while, but it looks great.





Tilt Mech - just prior to install. A light sand and re assembly into the cabinet





Moving on to the head

I've removed the backglass. It is stored in a safe place until I seal it and touch up some of the areas around the main sail. Here's some "before pictures" - This is where I'm at as of this evening !
