bride of pinbot resto
« on: July 05, 2009, 01:41:29 PM »
finally got her home

few bumps and thumps on the cabinet but the PF is diamond plated so not a mark,sunk or damage inserts

only problem on the PF besides shopping is the ramp entrances are damaged (cliffys to the rescue)

will do mate

cleaned up the mini PF and around the bumpers earlier

it will need a full strip down but atm just taking bits off having a look here and there and getting a hang of things

was tempted by the sega batman sitting next to it for another. Ive put a $1 on it to keep it on hold  %.%

also bought new glass at the same time  ^^^

Nice one Narf, I'll be looking forward to seeing how this one goes.  Hey even though she looks dirty at least your PF looks like it has very little wear.

Nice - That will clean up very well. Take a look at the sling plastics - not broken !

Will be a sweet looking pin when done

PF is the diamond plate version so she has held up well. the backbox seems to of taken most the damage with smallish but once i bog it up and place it against a wall she will be fine.

i was happy to take cabinet wear over PF wear anyday.

ill try and take more pics as atm due to personal reasons im away from home so i get limited net use. but atm plenty of tinker time after work

so far all switches are working just need to sort out globes and polish the PF and wire frames

That DP playfield looks excellent. The run of the mill non DP field seems to suffer pretty fierce yellowing.
