Backglass

The Backglass is good for its age, but there is some cracking in the backlit areas. It did clean up OK, but, the decision has been made to have our resident Backglass Restorer to weave his magic. The new owner (Creech) is a fussy Collector, and due to the fact that everything around the backglass has come up so well, he wants the BG to be of the same standard. So I'm boxing up the glass this weekend and it will be sent ASAP.

Notice the cracking in the RED sections





Legs


The decision was made to buy NEW LEGS from Pinball Resource. Usually, this is cost prohibitive - But we made a "group" order and it came out cheaper. The legs were sent UPS, so they were here in four days.. I was totally impressed with the quality of the legs.. They are worth every cent, and just add that "final touch" to the machine..

Here are some pictures of the Legs ;


 




Playfield

The only item left is the two spot targets. I will have to rivet the new faces on to the assemblies. The Apron is in VERY good condition, other than the rust that is UNDER the paint where the sticker once was.. The Apron will be sent to Gavin as well..







All done ! As mentioned, the Glass and Apron needs to be done as well as the spot targets. Apart from that, the machine plays like new !





The infamous garage is in the background.. in case you didn't notice !!!

Gavin might have a separate thread on the Apron and Backglass restoration..

Thanks to Dean Morgan for the backglass mounts !!
