BALLY BAZAAR RESTORE HAS BEGUN
« on: August 29, 2009, 01:33:43 AM »
Decided to put the Sweet Hearts restore on hold and start on my 1966 Bally Bazaar (Trying to have it ready for Tonys meet in OCT). I had done a minor resto on it (Rubbers,globes/Holders,Post & guides,flippers,apron etc),then while at the Expo,run into Stuart from QLD who had a Bazaar complete Playfield in storage. Well under the Dust and Mould there was`a excellant playfield with very small signs of wear - I reckon the posts had never been removed as all the post screws snapped off on removal. Have just about stripped all the plastics etc off the PF and have the posts and guides (Yellowed) soaking in my wifes Booster and Soak.
Over the next couple of days will post pictures and updates of my progress. (Should come up better than the Jumping Jack as that was`an experiment /first restore).

Heres how it looked when I got the PF (Some mould and dirt has been removed to show how good this PF is) - Will post more picts after I have cleaned and polished it and put all plastics etc back.

Looks like she will clean up pretty well,  and you should have a mint game at the end of the restore.
Looking forward to the end result,
Darren.

Too right this will come up sweet Kev,

After seeing this a few weekends ago I'm surprised you have taken all that time to get started on it  :D

Please send me some images from the score and instruction cards.
I haven't got anything for this game.
The little card perhaps... (balls per game)

Decided to use the original posts and lane guides as the posts are no longer available.(Only Jewel type posts).
Worked out the best and easiest way to clean them was soaking them in my wifes Booster and Soak,suppose Nappysan would also work.
Some before and after picts.
