Finished PicturesAfter installing all the hardware, there was not much else that needed to be done. The game fired up and I played it for a week or so until Mark picked it up. There were no issues that developed, so I took some more pictures and here they are;
I added a front door lock and it was basically finished.
PlayfieldTarget bank was rebuilt with new targets. New bumper bodies, skirts, caps, rubbers, globes, lane guides, flipper bats, post caps. Plastics came up well ;
Here's a shot of the playfield, with the decal partially obscured.
Part of the reason why I wanted to do this game was to prove that no matter how difficult a project, there is always a method in fixing something you have not experienced before. The Decal procedure took more time than the rest of the pinball, but I "had a go" and I'm happy that the machine is presentable. It's better than blue gaffer tape or bare wood.
Special thanks to a couple of guys who gave me advice with the decal
