Ok after a bit over 2 years Buck Rogers is finally back together. I just have to plug it all into the new pascal board then attempt to fire it up this afternoon when I have some time and cross my fingers everything works and nothing blows up. lol
Anyhow here are some pics. Overall I am pretty happy given it was my first attempt on so many levels. First time painting a cabinet, first time touching up a playfield (I reckon I ended up painting about 50-60% of it again), first time stripping a playfield, repinning connectors, decaling an apron, rebuilding flippers and bumpers and drop targets, clear coating a playfield, replacing the blue score windows and then clearing/sealing the backglass etc etc etc. I have to say I learnt a lot, even just simple stuff like how something works lol.
As others no doubt find, you look back and think of things you would do differently or little bits here and there you aren't happy with. I see them myself since I did it but others don't unless you point it out, just little things. But nothing too significant. Anyhow here are some pics, when I compare these pics to the pics in the first page of this thread I think overall it's a pretty good improvement. I will probably be back later this arvo with "help requests" when I turn it on and shit doesn't work.
I still need to get a couple of things, like a new coin door lock, some leg protectors. I also am on the lookout for some new Legs for this too when I can find some 27" ones. Then it's time to turn my attention to my Whirlwind project.
