someone will chime in about a tumbler, could be some info in the search bar  && Stop @ 1 pin  ^&^

Haha, yeah I already bought a second pin. It arrives on saturday. A flintstones. At this current point in time though I am NOT planning on pulling it apart. Not to the same length I would hope.

For those playing at home here is a summary of what it looked like at the very start!

Here is what it looks like after one coat of wax:

Cheers, not much more to report.

I screwed up one thing though. In my excitement when I bought the machine I ordered rubbers from eBay as opposed to a store. Over two weeks later and they have still not arrived :(

Wont be rebuilding this for some time yet. Oh well, time still to clean all the ramps and plastics I guess.

Looks great, makes me want to strip down and get all waxed!
Pun intended.

When I originally started tearing this down and gave the playfield a clean over I was worried that I might not end up getting the results I wanted. I can say that after the third coat of wax I was very wrong.

It looks fantastic! I cant wait to start actually getting it back together. Its really shining.

Annnd the rubber kit has arrived! Huzzah!

All I have to do now is finish polishing all the ramps and associated goodies and I am good to put it back together. I do not own a tumbler at this time but ill try to clean up posts etc as best I can by hand.

I am actually still working on this. I just need to order replacement bulbs as a lot of them were blown, still need to clean up a lot of the parts etc.

I had a pretty nasty motorcycle accident that I have taken a while to heal from so this ended up on the back burner for a while sadly.

Hopefully you'll stay away from the bikes now and just travel in a car  ()
