Like I said previously, the updates will trickle through on this restore.

Cabinet

The baseboard is installed and I've re enforced the cabinet with some edging from Bunnings cut into lengths and glued with PVC Wood glue and nails.








The rear corner re enforcement  was fun - as that's where the leg bolts are attached. So after the glue sets, I had to drill the holes. I've bought the leg plates to be fixed to the corners. I had to use a larger piece of edging - again, from bunnings !





Playfield


How funny is this picture ? The Spinner is from a "Buccanneer" - it is the wrong spinner. I have a spare "Pro Football" spinner somewhere.. But - 3 years after buying the PF, I buy a Buccanneer - With no spinner !





I started stripping the playfield parts and notice the mylar (contact) is in great shape. But underneath the contact is a REALLY nics playfield.. It is just going to take me a few hours to find it !!








The playfield is stripped and the mylar is removed - along with the adhesive residue. First pass with Novus 2, and here is what I'm presented with - and I'm REALLY pleased with the results..









I've ordered everything I will need for the playfield restoration, I just need to rebuild everything underneath and prep the cabinet for a respray !
