Addams playfield repair
« on: October 14, 2010, 10:57:36 AM »
Just thought I would share a couple of photos of some work I've done recently.  I have been very busy of late finishing off some customers machines but I've been trying to squeeze in some work for my own games.

I recently picked up an Addams from NSW (project) but I'm very happy as it works 100%, is complete, no hacks or issues.  The existing playfield has some very minor insert wear, but this is the reason I purchased the machine.  I was down at PBSP and purchased an Addams playfield (one of the remaining ones) from Mark & Damien.  The screen printed artwork was fine and no major issues.  The clear coating was not quite up to my standards so I wet sanded the imperfections out and gave the playfield another 3 coats of clear.  The photos of the clear are 'straight off the gun', so in a few weeks I will give the playfield a further sand before its final cut and polish.

The clear is a 2pac automotive clear and should protect the playfield well for the rest of its life.

VERY VERY nice Marty,

The finish is a real credit to your process, and your keen eye for detail.

Cant wait to see the finished game, and get a few games on it too!!

Top shelf,

Timbo

Not 100% sure yet.  Its definitely not a write off.

I will wait until I'm all done on the full rebuild of machine then make a decision.
