RADICAL by Bally classic 80/90s theme

[Strangeways]

All games except one have had SERIOUS playfield wear. Very hard to find this title in good condition. Best of luck with it - you are off to a good start.

WHEN everything was flouro??... WHEN??... Havent you seen those ghastly RGB LED's???

Nice pick up BTW... great player of a game

FLUORO ROCKS DUDE, system 11 is an absolute ball tearer era. The pinnacle for my age group.
Original themes with some ground breaking ideas.
This era is also king of call outs!

[Crashramp]

Very cool, I've never seen one let alone played one but I love the theme and the layout looks good. I'll look forward to more pics and the Resto thread!

Start the cleaning today while getting my new foster dog use to my weird hobbies.
Mylar removal by low eat and slight mention pulling a bit at a time, didn't lose to many deals.
Flour is then thrown onto play field to show where the glue is and then I use orange cleaner to soak and then rub off. This is done several times with a wax comb used to pick up the bilk of glue in between cleans.
Under neath is sanded to make it look a little prettier, not too fussed with that though.
Will then leave to dry properly after using Shellite to clean up any residue.
All guide rails and wire looms are thrown in the dishwasher, never done this before.

Holy Batman - wire looms in the dishwasher?? How do you seal the ends before they go in?

Ha ha, I dont, just give em a good shake when finished 
Shake all that electricity out of it first though

Give the underneath a nice, sand scrub and removed the T-Nuts today, followed by 2 coats of clear gloss( out the can). Still undecided on wether to keep the inserts or replace so I used a syringe to fill with water to stop the clear sticking to the critical part. Don't know if this has been done before, but it worked a treat 
This is just to make it a little prettier. Will leave this for a day or two, then start giving the play field a good scrub and clear also. Then start the artwork( this will be fun )

The water in the inserts is a great idea, very handy trick

Finally, FINALLY getting my mojo back and started working with a new airbrush kit ( AWESOME )
Have done block coats by hand with a brush to build up where ball wear was gnarly!
In this pic you see I have finished the blonde/yellow and the light blue on main ramp. Taped up is the orange ready to spray.
SO very far to go, but hey, what ya gonna do?
Threw in a picture of my surfy mates and my new furry f**ker enjoying the fruits of my labour ( they don't get being a pin freak ) but sure enjoy thrashing them!
Good weather is upon us here in WA.

few more colours done, matching the fluoro is impossible. By the time I fit it all back together you probably won't see the difference ( I hope ) not long till the detail starts and that will suck big time!
The things I learn on this play field I will apply to the next one and hang it up.

[Strangeways]

Looking good. I'm so happy that it is going to get a better playfield.

[oldskool1969]

Finally getting a bit more work done on Radical. It aint pretty but it sure is better.
This play field is the practice subject and when I swap over the other play field will hopefully turn out better  fingers crossed )

before there is a bucket load of bare wood.
