One armed bandit restoration Inca Gold

[faza]

Gordo

Machine was working fine befoere i pulled it apart so hopefully once back together should work ok.
$1000 bucks is good money i  thought $500 would be a good price so you also did well .

Cheers

A small progress update i wasnt happy with the original colour of this machine so have changed to hammertone gold and charcoal .
I think the gold will go a lot better with the inca theme , i am starting to reassemble still awaiting the call to pick up the parts out being rechromed and i also have a few small pieces that i would like to replate.

That's looking so so good the gold will definately suit the game.   Makes me wish I had time to finish mine

Have had a very steep photoshop learning curve its an amazing program that can be so so frustrating at times.
The original pictures seem to be screen print on perspex so will have to decide wether to go the perspex or glass route.
Im guessing perspex was used to prevent pissed idiots cutting themselves when they took there frustration out on the machine .
Anyway a few shots below i have still not finished and will probably try a few more different colour tribal patterns which one do you think would suit the machine i am thinking the gold ????
The Schematic was very frustrating sort of like two steps forward three back but i got there in the end anyone no what advantages having the sticker/decal printed professionally has over ink jet???
The link below showing someone drawing Megan Fox just blew me away .

Looking good! I would go with golden version but if possible, I would somehow highlight those "Inca Jackpot" and "Acetex Jackpot" -texts, those are little hard to see.

Just a note on the two fluoros. There is only one ballast and the fluoros are wired in series. If one goes out, they both go out.

Has been a while since i updated this project after Nino kindly offered to plate a few items for me i had a look at the Janes site and decided to give plating a crack myself.
Its a slow job plating one piece at a time but is also rewarding , roughly one beer per piece.
Chrome is all back and apart from a few pitted areas it came up ok.
The local printer talked me out of reprinting the artwork as he was adamant that he would not be able to reproduce the artwork as well as the original.
Anyway a few more pictures nearly finished .

And a few more

Looking good! I would love one of these - but don't want to buy one. To many other things needed to buy first. Good job.

That looks seriously nice! Great work.

Look like youve hit the key jackpot too!

[Strangeways]

Very nice - well done !
