Even though it is hard work, I still find Zinc Plating fun to do. It is time consuming, but these days the results I have been able to achieve are "as good" as professionals. I don't lose ports either ! So here are some longer pieces - some that are not even seen (playfield arch area) and the channel for the back door.









The HARDEST part to plate is definitely the Lock down Bar Receiver. Here's a finished next to an unfinished ;









Installing Plated Ball Trough parts ;












Coin Entry plate - The AUS Coinage cards / Decals are no longer available, so I had to make my own. I used the documents from Peter's site and printed them and then laminated them. They turned out ok.












The mounting bracket was replated and new lamp sockets installed.







While I had the laminator out, I also did the "Manufacturer's Certificate"







I used two sided tape to install back on to the ball arch. Looks better than I thought !







The Back Door was a different metal than I've seen, so I thought I'd clean it up and polish it... Section by section !







The Lockdown Bar gets a good clean, regrain and some fresh Beer Seal !
