1978 united Pompeii shuffle alley (yes I'm a dead man)

[ddstoys]

Well not a huge update but I did manage to get all 10 pin mechs stripped cleaned rebuilt and Mounted back on the base.     Now I just need to fit the new pins.     
  If tomorrow gives me a couple of hours hopefully ill get them mounted and ill get the clear coat on the head surround then that entire section is finished.

Nice job there Daniel 

[ddstoys]

Finally got the new pins installed which makes a huge difference.

  I've also got a coat of gloss clear on the headbox surround hopefully dries enough for another coat tonight

Well that's it the head section is finished.  I think I'm going to put it backtogether until the next long weekend before attempting to paint the lane section

Well I've made a start on the alley section of the shuffle alley.

  I've removed as much of the black paint as I can.  I've glued and screwed any loose joints and filled any screw and nail holes hopefully tomorrow ill get it all sanded back and primed

[ddstoys]

Got the alley primed painted and stenciled today and hopefully tomorrow ill get the rails stripped and stained then a nice thick coat of 2pak clear.   The new rubbers have been ordered so hopefully by the end of the weekend ill have it backtogether and playable just ready for the rubbers.

[ddstoys]

Well I got the rails sanded and can see why they were laminated cheapest shittiest wood ever.  One side looked like it was made from a completely different type of wood lol.

       I've given it a coat of the stain which I'm not happy with the results so tomorrow ill give it another coat and see how it looks.    If it still doesn't improve I'm going to paint them mission brown like I did the underside of the rails.

  I'd prefer the timber look but if it looks patchy and crap I do t really have a choice.   

 Also cleaned up the door which came up pretty well

[goodolddays]

[ddstoys]

Well it's almost finished just waiting on the new rubbers from Marcos and its done.

  Gave the alley a polish with the special cleaning wax then sprinkled with the shuffle wax and its amazing how fast te steel puck moves can't wait to see it with new bouncy rubbers.

    Hope u have enjoyed the rebuild.
