« on: March 18, 2009, 05:27:47 PM »
Well i said to myself that im going to keep out of the shed tonight as all the video games stuck out there are pissing me off. Any body want one check out ddstoys on ebay plus i have more. GRRRRRRRR

Enough about that here is a Bally Galahad pinball that i rebuilt for another guy who's jukebox i fixed and just happened to be after a pinball again another machine from Mark c. This one im really spewing about turned out really nice and wasnt to many made had a perfect backglass and ould have looked great in with my machines but had already told him about it before i picked it up.

This machine took very little to get going just cleaned and adjusted all the contacts and we were away. This one even had the original backbox door.  Once it was running it got the usual treatment Strip Clean Polish Wax Re globe and Re rubberred

That came up very nicely, looks like a keeper! Never mind.

What does it play like, just out of interest?

window can be a bit abrasive - Believe it or not, try NOVUS 2 ! Yep I didn't believe it either, until Pinfan gave me the tip that it works wonders !

Ahh NINO, you blew my cards !  :lol :lol :lol

Yep NOVUS 2 ! Best by far.

I keep well away from any flaking or peeling. But if you have a good clean glass. It comes up a treat.

pic 1 is BG lit up dirty.

pic 2 is bg being cleaned with novus 2.

pic 3 is bg lit up clean.
