Big UpdateThe first lot of parts arrived and it is back to the playfield. All the parts that are being returned to the game have been cleaned, "ranexed" or polished. In most cases - all three !
The underside parts that I really needed were simply the coil sleeves, and three complete replacement "kits" for the pop bumpers. The only parts retained were the metal bases, brass washers and plastic washers. The plungers could not be sourced, but they polished up well.
Here's a picture of the underside assembly - Does not take long, once you have everything all together.
Just the basics - slowly putting it all back together. Most of the parts are new - so it is going to look very nice ;
Here's the ball gate comparison. Same part number, but a little different. I had to drill new holes as the replacement was larger. But have a look at the old rusted gate ! There was no way I was going to polish the old one - there's notheing left to polish !
Looks MUCH better !
More progress pictures ;
Now here is where I'm at after cleaning the plastics - and this is a HUGE difference from the "before" pictures - I'm VERY happy with the resto thus far ;
Now the first major problem is that the spinner is the wrong one - it is out of a Williams space game - Probably Space Mission. So the plan is to paint it black and find decal art and go with that !
