BALLY ZIPADOO RESTORE
« on: March 07, 2009, 12:18:12 PM »
Well time for another restore thread  This pinny has also gone to a new home while delivering the star pool pinball the owner of my place of employment was there and loved it so the mission was set to get him a pinball as well and with thatnks again to mark c  Here we go again.
   Another good starting point the biggest problem was the backglass but not bad for a first pinball

A great platform to work on Daniel - looks to be a really nice pin.

Will you seal the backglass to prevent further deterioration ?

Cute looking game, never seen it before. Looking forward to the progress!

Yes i did seal the backglass i seal all my backglasses with any delamination even if they are only going to be hung on the wall.  Yes it was a good starting point only needed the usual cleaning and adjusting all the relays and stuff.

The fact that I could not tell is a compliment to your cleaning skills ! It really looks great and I like the way the lights under the plastics shine onto the playfield. The mylar must be in great condition.

Mate - I've lost plenty of photos of my work. Frustrating.

Keep up the good work !
