Help needed with a POLICE FORCE restoration.
« on: January 12, 2010, 01:44:47 PM »
Hi All

I am currently restoring a williams POLICE FORCE.
The front panel decal is badly worn and missing a lot of the detail.
I am hoping some-one on this forum who owns this machine can help me out.
I need a high resolution, close up and square on  pic of the front panel (has the words POLICE FORCE a pic of a gun and a CB Radio).

I plan to clean this image up with photoshop and get a printer mate to print me off one.
Can some-one assist.

Thanks

The database shows the front as being pretty simple really - maybe you could just re-create it?

Is this any good for you?  It is just over 3mb in size.  You should be able to get it from here  http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr153/Talby671/Police%20Force/IMG_2823.jpg

Just looking at the PF flyer, the sample machine on there doesn't even have the radio and gun or 'START' lettering.  

Hey Marty, I took your advice and tinkered with the Police car LEDs, I probably should have got a difused blue LED for the top but the white headlights and blue and red warning lights look very cool.  My translite is pretty faded where the blue lights are on the car so I put a red and blue condom over the globes which looks OK - still undecided whether they will stay or not.  Just need to make up some plastics or better still find some for sale.

Only noticed the black overspray on my lockdown bar when I took this pic as well - that's gotta go.

Very cool....Not sure if I told you, but I bought a heap of blue leds & flashers for the topper light too! (RTBB)!! and I also put a green LED behind translite where scope is and also blue leds where the car lights are!.

Awesome game.

Would love to see the resto on here Fezlar!

Hate to be a copy cat but I might have a crack at that as well, at least the green globe behind the scope anyway.  The LEDs in the topper would have come up nice I reckon.

Hey is there an easy way to get to the diverter up the back of the playfield.  I need to pull mine apart and clean it.....somehow without removing the whole playfield hopefully.

Sorry mate, havn't removed the diverter on mine.  In theory you should be able to remove it whilst still in the game...   !@#

Maybe Dave's pulled his apart?

Green franger on the globe behind the scope looks good....thanks for the idea.

I would like to think there is an easy way into the diverter but haven't found it yet.
