Factory staple holes filled.
The Drac used slide out type hinges and the Addams uses the old fixed hinge type so the the original slide hinge holes were filled and new fixed hinge holes drilled.
A layer of acrylic white undercoat was applied which helps show up any other defects which are then filled and sanded.
Undercoating finished here then rubbed back smooth.
Same deal with the head shell.
Black acrylic applied... rubbed back then applied again... x 3.
Same here too...
Cabinet fit out done. Note new style power input.
Decals, feet and chrome trims added.
Getting there, nice and clean. Plunger not mounted here.
New door and lock down installed.
I wasn't happy with the new factory playfield as the clear coating was uneven so it was firstly cut back with 800 grit and then 1600 grit. It will get recoated with two pac then cut and coated until perfectly flat. Around six coats were done on this one,
You can see here how uneven the clear was applied by the factory.
Same here.
The cutout areas were masked as the clear will pool here. Its easy to remove later with a blade.
