I recently pulled out a Blue Chip to work on with my son. I thought I could touch up the paint and get the machine working. Unfortunately, the paint turned to dust when we touched it. We decided to completely repaint the machine. This was my first try to reproduce all of the original artwork on the machine. Some of my methods may be on the less professional side, but they seemed appropriate for a machine in this price range that is going into my personal collection.

I posted two videos of the machine, one with a silver ball and one with a white powerball.
