Restorations are never complete....gave this old girl a new look in the front - and at the same time did the same with Sunshine from 1958.

She just needs the coin reject rod installed that should arrive from PBR any day.

Got: front door taken off and stripped of paint and repainted original colour. New coin entrance plates, door surround, bolts for door and associated hardware, beehouse surround for plunger, both inner and outer spring, credit button and front door lock.

Lower door harware had been treated with anti rust and then treated and primmed and then repainted.

Actually very surprised on the results and how much they make the game really come alive.

Also all the legs were treated and resprayed red with new leg bolts installed.

All games will get this treatement with each restore now

Thanks Cam,

No my kids don't care....well maybe when I'm dead and they get these games as part of their inheritance 

What are they like to play? I love them but they aren't for everybody. Suppose they do play totally different to games post 1970.

The thing for me is their beauty and history - they are just stunning. This one looks near new now with the reproduction backglass.

Great work there Tony .. front looks excellent now . I have recently pulled apart and cleaned the coin door and door surrounds etc on Lady Luck and was also surprised at the improvement it makes and will be doing the same to all my other games too. Mine, of course, are no match for your beautiful woodrails though.
Shame your kids can't appreciate your games .. my girls each have one favorite machine which they play very occasionally but ignore all the others.

Cheers

Very nice Tony . Thanks for the posting the pics . Does the spaceship on the BG go around the Earth ???  Looks like it does .

I grew up in the late SS / early DMD era but I can definitely see the attraction to these older machines . Like you said they are not just a pinball - they are works of art .
