Daniel and Nick do HH
« on: July 13, 2009, 12:04:16 AM »
Just a couple of before and after shots of the basement. Everything on this game is corroded, so lots of Ranex, polishing and buffing happening! Big kudos to Daniel who has come up with a bunch of parts we're using to replace the worst of the metal.

Quite a lot of elbow grease must have been used to make her shine like new again. Top job.

Kudos to you!

It is Shane. I almost said no,  then decided that the challenge of making this one shine again was attractive. Then I got it home and decided I was right the first time and should have said no! Then Daniel came around and was all enthusiastic about what we could do with it - which infected me!

Daniel did a whole pile of parts, and showed me what he could so with a buffing wheel, so I grabbed one too and did some more. Amazing how well some have come up.

Too late mate! Already ordered my sets last week (along with most of the rest of what we'll need). Looks like might also have something to sort the artwork on the basement on its way too.

Hey Spamways, you mentioned in another thread you would have some playfield plastics available for the game - that offer still standing?

I was looking at it for a first up machine - would have been a bit overkill... (i.e. would have killed myself!)  &^&

I was told there isn't many good HH's left? Glad to see this old girl brought back from the grave!

Anyway, not going to take over your thread - I will shut-up and watch!

I'm pretty sure PBR has plastics for the HH (all 3) at $190US...

They do Marty, but I only need a couple so as this is an AP project (well so far me, Daniel and Ian) I think Spamways     had better make good with his offer to join the fun! Surprisingly, most of the plastics are really good - they don't rust!
