Overdue update.

I like to be working on several restorations so I can do work in batches. This time, this update will concentrate on the finer details of the playfield underside - in particular the Zinc Plating that I've been doing in-house for years with success.


The power box has a zinc plated galvanized finished which is practical but looks out of place on a High End Restoration. I thought I'd try something new and attempt to plate the power box and also the power cable box located on the rear panel. So here is the starting point ;








The two items are put aside and prepped with a lot of other parts for different games that I will Zinc Plate. Here is the 30 Liter tub of magical solution busy at work in mt chemical laboratory..






After plating, here are the results ;








Re assembly ;






More plating during this session ;













The DR Who VUK Assembly ;





The "Time Expander" assembly looks completely different after plating ;
