Deluxe Relay
Gottlieb, 1934Picked up a 1934 Gottlieb Relay a few weeks ago and have been working on cleaning it up and completing it. Thought Yhall would enjoy. Here are pictures from the sale ad and the day I got it.

Took it apart, had to reglue the back of the cabinet back together as it was splitting.

I didn’t want to make them shine too much as I’m not restoring the machine and want it to still show age.
Then I totally stripped the play field.

I have a Relay Jr that is completely missing the under playfield mechs, but is in otherwise pretty good condition.

I can take some next time I have it apart!
Play field is back in the game, re installed the ball rails that go around the play field. Started painting the new lockdown bar, still needs a few coats. Made a make shift ball gate just to test function.

I’m waiting on new glass and the bolts to attach the lockdown bar.
Also waiting on my new rules decals and NRA decals for the top of the play field.
Now to decide if I want to touch up the paint on the cabinet at all.
