Thanks for the kind words guys - have a few more that i should upload from earlier this year so will try and get to them very soon
Absolutely beautiful, well done. Have you moved to smaller premises?
Thanks man, havent downsized - just have a small area separate from the workshop where its alot cleaner etc. These games take time and the last thing you want is dust collecting on a project like this
.
We try and do the bulk of the restoring at the shop (painting, cabinet work, sanding, polishing, washing) and leave the final assembly of the restored pieces to this area where its a clean environment. Hope that explains that
Are they all new repro parts? like the subway etc. do you do the chroming yourself? or do you have magical powers to make them look like new.
Me like very much.
Thanks dude, unfortunately no magic powers - and no doubt about it there is a fine line between truly 'restoring' something and simply swapping parts over new for old and calling it 'restored'. There are challenges in both categories, and this game had a HEAP of brand new parts (ramps, subway, playfield, cabinet etc etc etc). The challenge when you fit so many new parts, is that you need to get them to all function as per the originals, and that can be very frustrating at times.
So to answer your question directly - yep, lots of brand new parts on this one
We send the chrome work out, and all the polishing work out too - we try to send out these type of processes to professionals in that particular field - we have used the same local businesses from day one which is nice. They understand what we are trying to build for our customers, and it shows in the finish from them.
Any other questions just fire away
