LUCKY STRIKE REBUILD

[ddstoys]

Hi All
         Ive been nagged by a member to do a post so here goes (Be patient as i have the attention span of a ded carp)

 As with a lot of my machines started out with a trip to Mark c to pick up a machine but as usual came home with more than 1 spotted Lucky Strike and had to have it.   Excitment turned to shock as an almost perfect looking pinball had become home to a possum or some other animal that liked the taste of wires...

       After ordering a manual from the states i set about rewiring the damaged wires, checking cleaning and adjusting the relays and contacts etc.   Put it all back together and Sucess it fires into life.

So i started the clean up by stripping the playfield polishing everything then putting it back together.

Going to love seeing how this turns out. Keep the updates coming please.

Wasnt sure if i should remove the mylar so i left it on came up pretty good i think still might do it in the future as this machine isnt going anywhere. 

        I just love the Polished flippers how cool are they???

Wow, those machines look unreal!  The playfields look very very clean too!

Normally I find overseas coins in my machines from Mark..Never any deceased critters...yet!

Sorry forgot o add the pic of the flippers lol

After viewing a strangeways thread on a restore i decided to go that little bit further not as exceptional as strangeways but i polished every part i could. I spent heaps of extra time but i think its well worth the effort you decide????

  Well ive spent as much time on the computer as i can handle so back out to the shed for me ill add some more next time i have some free time
        ENJOY

Also let me know if you want less detail more detail??? So i know how to improve it

Good on you Daniel for posting these pix 

The Lucky Strike looks like she is coming along real well, keep the updates coming as it inspires everybody on here with their own games.

Thanks Tony
   Are the pics big enough or should i not shrink them so much????

[Creech]

If you leave the pics at their normal size, the forum software will automatically scale them to 800 x 600 when you upload them.

Thanks Creech that will save me a stack of time

Looking good. The metal flippers are cool, have a spare one if you ever need one.
Is that a Jumping Jack in your first picture ? Have you started on it yet ?
Hopefully getting one next week.

Daniel - Congrats mate - that is an awesome job you have done there.

As I keep saying to anyone who listens - These pins should be in the hands of people like Daniel, and not sitting in some filthy barn/factory or warehouse rotting away. These machines DESERVE this level of attention after making the operator / owners rich !

Keep the updates coming !
