With Centaur out of the way it’s time to start another restoration project (well, actually 4 or 5 projects). I’m going to be working with my buddy Mike W. on several machines simultaneously, so this should be an interested thread. We’ll be bouncing around all over the place, working on the following titles: MM, TOM, RS, and MB. Plus, I might find a way to squeeze my SM in along the way
I love reading restoration threads, especially when details are provided, so I’ll do my best to document our process along the way. First, let me say that anybody can restore a pinball machine; it’s just a matter of time and money (of course the real secret is the money – “over the top restorations” are expensive regardless of who’s doing the work). Remember, at some point in time every guy restoring pinball machines had zero experience (so, don't be dissuaded from starting your own project).
For me this is a hobby and it’s supposed to be fun. I wouldn’t know half the things I do if it wasn’t for the willingness of other pinball enthusiasts to share their restoration experiences. So, much of what will be posted has already been posted, but it never hurts to say it again. I’d like to pay it forward, so I hope you guys enjoy. Oh, and feel free to share your own tips/tricks along the way. I love to learn new things; life would get pretty boring otherwise.
