Stern Galaxy Restore

In the words of Borat - wa wa wee wa! I hope he doesn't get me for copyright violation on that one. 

By the way, you owe me a dead spider. It came with the machine and now it's gone.

I'll just buy a fake Spider and claim it as "Original Stern Spider".

If I find a huntsman before I pack it, I'll remember to stick it on the inside panel for you

Cabinet is almost done !

I've let the door hardware have time to dry and then spent some time reassembling. It is always great to have all these freshly painted and polished parts all come back together.

The hard work on the coin door was fruitful, and I'm very pleased with the outcome. It IS the same door ! The coin entry plate is just too damaged, but luckily I had a spare I found in a box of parts - so I polished that up and used it. Not perfect, but these are no longer available as a spare part. Everything is rebuilt - I have left the chrome plated coin assemblies out as I have to attempt a different approach to restoring these as re-chroming will be too expensive.











The door is finally mounted in place - new lock installed - makes a difference !








Inside the cabinet is done - New flipper buttons and flipper switches installed. Everything else is cleaned, tumbled or polished. Check out the original pictures on the first page as a reference !





Next update - The power board.

Saw this one in person last night when I picked up the AP flyers. That hammertone finish really does look the goods - sounds a bit fiddly to get right but Nino has it down pat.

Thanks for your hospitality, mate - the way that garage is packed with pinballs is something else plus the wife's car fits in!!

So andrew is it true that he could hardly fit in another leg let alone a machine??????

Nah, still a little bit of room but I imagine not much with the car parked in there. I doubt another pin would fit in too easily, but a few pinball legs wouldn't cause an issue.

It was a pleasure to have you around, Andrew.

Yes - you DO need a shoehorn to fit another pin in my Garage. I had 29 in there once !

[ddstoys]

SOrry for doupting you nino but it sounded to good to be true.   That many pins you cant even fit a leg in i like the sound of that

All good marriages are based on compromise...just depends which compromises work for you...

Since when is a garage made for a car ?
we have a double lock up garage & guess what, no car.
funny that, most people in our street have their cars parked in their drive way and all of them have double garages.
i thought the sole use for a garage was to store pinball machines
