Bally Bazaar Cleanup
« on: February 02, 2009, 06:01:46 PM »
Just thought id share some pics of my machine cleanup - unable to obtain a good apron & shooter so I added some decals - at least it looks a bit better. Also redone BB Paint to original design. Next job to finish off BB & Cab paint & redo coin cover.

Kev,

You should be extremely proud of those results - it is hard to imagine that this is also your first go at restoring a pin. Top marks mate!

Thought you might of mentioned you have another pin coming soon  #*#

Hi Tony,
Would class this as a cleanup job (as I used decals,hand painted,etc)-I think I would call it a resto if it was brought back to its original 60s splendour -have found these early Ballys hard to find original parts in good condition.
Yes Tony i am looking forward (and my wife Sindy,who i found out was playing the Bally during the day while I was at work) to getting the JUMPING JACK next week,& its a GOTTLIEB - it will only be restored to original as parts are easily found. Thanks Tony for finding my 2nd Pin.

Hey Millsy, fantastic job .
 Thats awesome. I remember your Bazaar when it was on ebay & it was local to me as well .
What a transformation. Congrats.
A Jumping Jack on the way. Number 2 . You'll love the Gtb.

Tony's like that , an asset to the pinball community. ( No . it's not arse kissing, I'm just telling it how it is ! )
I haven't even met him yet . but I do owe him some beers for help with hard to find score cards , repair tips & a "heads up" on a forum about a pin for sale which I then bought.
Won't be long Kev & you'll have number 3 comin'.
Cheers Steve.

Nice work, you got a very good result from the decal on the apron and the backbox cleaned up very nicely.

How did you go about getting the decal done?

I love the way the apron turned out. Very interested in how you made the decals for this.

Required
1) Scanner (Only got a A4 Scanner - downside apron too wide -has a visible join in centre )
2) Photoshop
3) Self adhesive gloss A4 Photo Paper (Only works on inkjet printers)
4) Cheap colour Inkjet Printer
5) Patience  ^&^
Shooter Lane cover came up excellant as well.

Now that you mentioned it I can see the join. Is the join due to having to print two decals and then fit them together?

Correct.
Ideal to have a larger scanner & printer.
Probably cost a lot of $$$
Just working on the cabinet decals now

Actually, Brother have an A3 multifunction colour inkjet (MFC-6490CW) that has an RRP of $499, which means you should be able to pick it up for $400 or less.

That sounds pretty affordable to me if you were looking for a new printer.
