« on: April 10, 2009, 07:56:26 PM »

This was before i had any idea how to remove mylar so i left the mylar patch on spewing now but oh well.  I tried to touch up some of the damged areas which most of it was flaking.

All framed and hanging on the wall.  Ive made them so i can swap them easily as i get bored easily as it as missing the apron and a few plastics it only lasted in the games room till i finished the next one so here is a pic of it in the games room.  Ive since made up some repro plastics to replace the broken ones and found an apron for it. But i cant get any photos as it buried behind machines.

Awesome stuff!  Huge difference from when you found it....Cannot believe someone threw a machine out at the tip!

I laughed at seeing the Ace Ventura VHS cassette as well!!    &&

Wasnt a full machine and it hadnt made the tip yet it was in a pile of rubbish waiting to go to the tip. I really wish i could have taken the whole pile as it was all pinball arcade and jukebox spares.  It was literally 6 foot high and about 15 foot round.
