This game is almost finished . Played my 1st games on it yesterday .
Seems like it will be a great player and may well be a keeper.
A few stats.
Purchase price $ 600. Parts and paint approx $200.
Time to restore .. in excess of 130 hours over 11 months. (did another restore in between)
Work done .
Make stencils of cab artwork , then strip and repaint cabinet and head.
Full mechanical rebuild including:-
New flipper kit
New coil sleeves all round, new coil stops as needed.
New spring kits in steppers.
New pop bumper bases, bodies, skirts, rod/ring assemblies , springs and plunger springs.
New eject hole covers. New flipper cabinet switches
Strip underside of playfield , remove and relevel all inserts and reassemble.
Cleanup of playfield , polish all posts , reglobe with 47’s and instal new rubber kit.
Still need to do backglass touchups and decide what to do about the apron and ball shooter gauge. I want to repaint them in purple , same as the top apron, but as yet Pinball Rescue don’t do decals for this era of Williams EM’s.
I repainted the rails and top apron as these colours blend much better with the playfield and backglass than the factory pink.
Thanks again to Daniel for the start button .
Here’s a few pics
