wonder:
Well done mate,should be a bit easy the second time round.
I got mine of mark as a project as well,just a lot longer ago.Will pm you regarding the flippers wires as not sure what side of coil they go to.
If you need any scans let me no and as strangeways said mark everything as it makes it a lot easy later.Have you replaced the skull,hunter ship yet as would like to no, are the new ones better than the repo one as they fell so thin and crap,just wanted to no if they are thicker material now.

Keep photos coming and if you need anything let me no as may have it.

OK..Marco's emailed me back.  Unfortunately their decals are exactly as I had.  I've googled around and the only other place I can find is classic-arcades.com.

Their T2 decals are advertised as having 'extra' artwork on the two decals I'm trying to make, so it might work out OK.  Has anyone dealt with them before?

I've ordered from them on one occasion without any problem.

Thanks....I've replaced the hunter ship only at this stage....I may do the skull a bit later but its not too bad.  I got mine from RTBB and its the best of the ones I've looked at...Its been hit a couple of times but survived..Protectors can be purchased for these now too..

MartyJ:
OK, playfield now completely stripped....Only one bolt was stripped, which I'm happy with.
I've emailed classic-arcades for a set of decals....There store doesn't work with AUS postcodes so hopefully they are happy to sell to us down here.

Still got a bit of glue to clean on old inserts...Now for some questions for the playfield resto gurus:

(1) - How can I clean / fix wear marks on insert plastics (ie left a mark where old decal had gone missing)?  Can this be lightly sanded, then novus etc...
(2) - For a Diamond Coat playfield...I'm trying to talk my panel beater / spray painter into doing it for me..Will the entire PF need to be sanded prior to hitting it with first coat of clear (obviously over clear).  If this is the case - I'm guessing sand the lot, clean (prepsol or similar), attach decals then give a full coat - not too thick.  Then a second coat once tacky and NOT bake, let dry for couple of weeks..?
