Finally managed to make some space in the shed so I dragged this treasure out of storage. Won't be a priority but got to have it home so I can tinker as I get time.
Havnt been able to find a whole lot of Info on it but luckily found a guy in the Us with one who has been helping me with photos of missing parts etc.

It's definately going to be a lot of work the poor thinks been used and abused for way to many years but I think it will be well worth the effort wouldn't be to many floating around specially here

Got a couple of hours tinkering with the old girl Looms a mess and without a schematic it's all guesswork slowly slowly.

You also need a bigger shed..

Sorting out a few of the wiring issues. In order to work some out the gun needed to be disassembled and new wires ran. Some peanut cut them dead level with the pipe.
So while I had it apart for new wires I decided I'd strip it down and give it some new paint.
Still need to strip and varnish the timber gun handles but the aims to get it going so these are not important.

Some progress today target sections all wired up, also got the gun stand wiring repairs upto being able to coin up a game.
Now it's bolted back together I need to wire up the contact plate and make a new contact arm. All stepper need to be rebuilt it I'll do that when I strip the game for a respray.

Well trial number one of my contact arm seems to work pretty well, Keep in mind all steppers and relays are yet to be cleaned so it's sluggish but ever time the red lights on mean it's been hit

I had a little me time the last couple of days and started tackling the cabinet on the crooks saloon it’s all stripped repaired and in its first coat of primer was pretty happy to discover the original artwork under the 50 layers of paint (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171221/6137ae1c1ae9610b2a8825c4fb07bd00.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171221/656ead305de4dea49de2a51de1dc2e3c.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171221/8f889c14cc0330bf9d78f91c5c37e766.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171221/b3097cc24b0b7569eace36480fedd736.jpg)

Small update I got the gun stand painted and assembled just waiting on the new nickel plating to come back then I’ll start on the target section (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180216/83b88b633601b28e6b8ffaf317a6f3e9.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180216/646fc5b681598464d983fb42170f4579.jpg)

Decided I couldn’t wait any longer with the warmer weather slowly leaving use decided to change my plan of attack and paint the target section. Original plan was to strip it to a bare cabinet paint it then re assemble as i restore all the mechs and assemblies but figured paint the cabinet while the weathers nice I can restore assemblies anytime of year and I’m glad i did absolutely perfect weather for my all natural spray booth the heaters and ventilation system ran faultlessly hahaha (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180309/96e4393543e766eafcbb917598a7074e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180309/434ed1d331fc20389a9dd74d39e21f4f.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180309/1d4c7144436c471de6220916e0284329.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180309/099a2054acb065931bdd5388c7a2476f.jpg)
Tomorrow I’ll attempt to completely stuff up all of today’s work with the white speckling.
Biggest challenge with this one is it won’t stand up on it’s own being so tall and thin.
I prepped the back of the cabinet then later it flat on the Pinball trolley to access everything that’s seen. Plan is to stand it up tomorrow and hope my very awkward upside down spraying of the edges is good enough to just remove the rear acces door and spray that but won’t find out till tomorrow.
That all depends of o can even move after a full day crouching and bending over sanding in the sun hahahah

Same here. For the first time this summer, but only after summer has finished, it has been perfect for painting cabinets. This last week has been perfect.

Well I didn’t stuff up the splatter so I’m pretty happy. Ive done all I can do externally now until the nickel and stencils come back.
I’ll replace the black tube with the good freshly painted one tonight when my son finishes me work.
Also think I’ll try my local alloy place to see if they have a similar edge trim mine are twisted and bashed to death.
It’s such a big game when assembled lol

So what is it with this speckle thing. Old Pinnies have it, this has it, was there a purpose in speckling the paint or only just for looks

My old man told me that this was to distract the problems of overspray, underspray, stencils lining up and imperfections in the timber.

Exactly what Nino said to distract you from imperfections these game had no primer under the original red paint very little effort went into paint prep
