I decided to refinish the apron as it would look "out of place" on this restoration. A decal from PinballResue was ordered while I stripped and prepared the Apron.
Here's the "before" picture ;
I used Citrus Strip from Bunnings a couple of times. them removed any residue with metho and a green scotchbrite pad ;
White Knight Etch Primer was applied. First a mist coat, then a couple of thicker coats over two days. I waited a week and then applied two coats of Gloss White.
Then I applied the decal from PinballRescue
Spinner was missing from this machine ( the correct one). I ordered a repro "blank" from Pinball Resource, and Wotto was kind enough to draw the images from scratch (from photos). Cheers Mate
I printed them on my inkjet on to adhesive paper, then applied them to the spinner. finally, I cut a piece of mylar and covered both sides of the spinner.
Here's the spinner installed.
Since this was completed, I had to order the two spot targets. However, I've fired the game up and apart from some minor adjustments, it works 100%. I still have to install the Apron. I will finish it off when the targets arrive. The NEW plastics will be installed once the game is 100% completed - which won't be too long !
