BALLY STRIKES AND SPARE RESTORE (Real time restore)

[ddstoys]

Well had a big day out in the shed i always seem to when im hung over.

  I started by cleaning the Plastics while my post screws etc were in the tumbler (Not a good noise with a splitting headache)

[ddstoys]

Then it was time to install the New posts they look so much better than the faded red originals.

And polished and installed the ball return lane

Very very nice mate

The cleaning and polishing of the plastics makes them so much better - something that all of us can so easily do.

Just a bit sad the slings only have a hand filling in the score card compared to the rest of the art!

While im waiting on a few parts to arrive i started to rebuild the flippers and Slingshots. 

All the parts were removed and tumbled then hit with the buffing wheel.  Rebuilt using a Pinball Resource full rebuild Kit sadly i ordered the wrong flippers the shaft just isn't long enough GRRRRR

Well i finally pulled my finger out and rebuilt my spare Power Supply Board has new everything  and all the upgrades suggested by Clays

  Will remove the current one from strikes and polish up the best looking frame and transformer to make it look its best as the other is just a spare for testing im not to fussed how it looks

That playfield looks pretty sweet Daniel

Theres nothing i hate more that trying to touch up one small patch in a large area of one colour. So what i've taken to doing is to repaint the whole area in a close matching colour... masking off the surrounding areas and spraying in the new colour.
Having said that, i think you've done a pretty good job with that yellow. I usually give up after several attempts at colour matching and just paint the whole lot 

Once again, well done!!
