Bally coin door

[Crashramp]

Hi guys,

Sorry everyones probably going to get sick of me asking questions about finishes and issues on My Flash Gordon before I finish this machine but I just want to keep it as faithful to the original finishes as possible.
 My coin door isn't to bad and should come up very nice with the right amount of elbow grease. What was the original finish on these doors was it brushed of polished? Mine appears to just be polished. Also the coin door hinge, were these zinc finished or something else? Thanks.

The stainless was brushed.   Not sure about the hinge I hit mine with the wire brush on a bench grinder then give a licht coat of clear to stop it rusting

Grab some wet / dry 180 grit sandpaper and windex. Sweeping and straight strokes up and down. I dismantle the door so I can get the grain straight. The results are on the Eight Ball thread.

ALL Bally doors were brushed, not polished.

Thanks guys,

I've pulled the door apart as the entire front door assembly behind the door has been pretty much been left untouched so it'll all get a good clean. I have to say though, holely crap there's a lot of components which just fall right off there once you start undoing a few screws!  I've taken heaps of photos as I've gone also so hopefully it all goes back alright.
