Some more photos.

The first one shows a nice clean power cord and shiny legs. I used Nu-Clean car polish and plastic scourer on both.

The next photo shows a cleaner inside and coin box. I removed the powdery deposit on the coinbox by using a plastic scourer and white vinegar, very easy to clean with a good result when compared to a photo I posted earlier. The original 'Double Shute" sticker was copied and edited to remove the age and enhance the colouring.

The third photo shows the under playfield and inside cabinet clean. I used a damp plastic scourer and damp chux to clean inside the box. The masonite base came up good as it was very dark with dust accumulated over 30 years. The cleaning process with damp scourer sponge removed all the dirt and I changed 4 buckets of water as it was almost black. The masonite was damp for about 30 minutes and dried OK.

The last photo shows example of original labels inside the box whch I am contacting to preserve and keep everything authentic. This particular label had masking tape over the word "cabinets" and you can see how the label is discoloured.

I hope to get my replacement ROM soon from the state so that I can awaken my Flash from a 30 year slumber and get to play a nicely shopped machine. Next on the agenda is the backglass touch up and preserve.
