Title: Apron question
Post by: millsy on December 11, 2008, 08:43:45 PM
Hi all,
In the progress of doing a minor restore (New posts,screws,bumper caps,light sockets etc) on my 60,s Bally, but am stuck on what to do to make the apron more presentable. As the picture shows, it looks awful. Unable to locate another apron anywhere, anyone attempted to repaint or transfer an apron? - any suggestions would be appreciated.
Millsy.

However I've had a quick look and I couldn't find one for yours.  You might have to consider scanning it, cleaning up with photoshop and printing?

Gavin has had great success with repainting aprons.. He is a little flat out - Give him time to respond.

 !@#Have scanned apron, cleaned up with Photoshop - not sure what to do next -do I send off to printer shop as I only have a B&W laser printer ? - what format - Do print shops have self adhesive paper ?
Anyone made up decals (machine too old to obtain decals).
