Final cut back...
This stuff is rock hard.
Sorry, wrong game... power ball with a power shine...
The shooter lane wasn't acceptable and will receive some cosmetic alteration.
After some airbrushing. I like that pool cue look.
The old...
The new...
Some drilling required to fit posts etc... This is a cool little rig that does the job accurately.
Now ready for assembly...
Sometimes you can come across some severely worn guides which need some extra horse power to get out those ball impressions. Firstly I use a high speed stainless steel wire wheel to chew the grain one way then finish off by hand with a scotch bright pad.
Finished... Ready for another 10 years of use.
I make sure these never come loose as I've seen plenty of playfields damaged around the flippers as a result of these little bolts coming loose. Just some cheep insurance.
Finished flipper ready for work.
Thing gets a makeover as well.
This is one of the reinforced aftermarket scoops that is made from thicker gauge steel and extra welding.
