Getaway - High Speed 2 Resoration WIP

[Supremicus]

Don't know if you guys can see the difference real clearly, but first photo was the playfield after it was cleaned with shellite before polishing and wax (you can see the scratches it had sort of). 2nd photo is after treasure cove kit then waxing, blacks and colours really stand out now. Now onto cleaning all the parts and reassembly.

Looking great.  I have my HS2 the same treatment with the TC kits and it came up a treat.

You've turned a very worn machine back to near new!

Very nice!

I miss my getaway, must find another. Such a great game. You're really going to enjoy playing this one!

Spent the afternoon regraining all the metal rails and installing, finishing off the rest of the posts now. Cliffy hole protector on the tunnel installed + nice new rubber on the bumper at the back of the hole. Installed all new targets last night, old ones were all discolored and completely worn out. Still quite alot of parts cleaning to do, plus i need to clean and flatten all the plastics. With any luck my switches and flipper kit will be here friday if not monday then i can get the playfield back in the cab.

Were the magnets bad on your machine? I have 1 spare coil in my parts bucket for Getaway, picked it up in an odd lot of parts. I've had 2 and neither ever had a bad magnet.

Yeah got one coming from rtbb my old one was thrashed only 1 screw mount wasn't broken. One magnet didn't work when i did the initial test when i got the machine and to be honest the coils looked sh*t and they were wrapped in masking tape of all things. Figured i'd play it safe and replace them since they were cheap enough to get new ones of anyway.

Where did you source these?

[Supremicus]

Looks like a completely different machine. Well done !

Flipper assemblies rebuilt & new coils, should be nice and strong for quite some time. Repairing some switches now and should hopefully have the playfield back in the cabinet tomorrow.

[johnwartjr]

Nothing like a nice, snappy rebuilt pair of flippers!

Did you find your supercharger decal in Australia? None of the local guys have them listed, was going to swap mine while it is out.

[Supremicus]

Marco has them for about $7aud.

Got the playfield in this afternoon, wired it all up. Is working a treat right now except for the mars lamp, will have to get the meter out to see if it's getting power. The pinball pro speaker kit sounds amazing in it. Need to finish cleaning plastics and flattening them, installing leds into the inserts then reassemble everything else.

Great work!

Is the lamp coming on but motor not spinning or nothing at all?
