This thread is to document a BoP Resto that is not for sale. I do have access to another machine and am on the list for another Brunner pf, so if interested in purchasing a similar machine, just PM me.
Here is the starting point. A reimport, decent shape, been in storage for about 15 yrs.

Previous owner attempted mylar removal, and ran into trouble.

Won't be a problem, as new Buthamburg pf is going in.
Beautiful.

Underside of pf and lower cabinet fairly clean.

Lower cabinet stripped, decals from PPS on the way. Going to do a slight custom (inside cabinet) color scheme.

Old pf on the rotisserie, will start removing and cleaning this week.

15002490026962017126977 (resized).jpg

Started in on the lower cabinet.
I wish all decals came off like this. I set it in the sun for an hour or so, hosed it down with aerosol paint remover, waited a few minutes, and just peeled this side off.
Other side, not so easy..

A little xylene applied with a disposable brush and scrape with razor blade to remove the old decal adhesive.

Cabinet sanded, cleaned. Applying some Bondo, sanding, getting ready for primer.

Decals showed up today.

Earlier I said PPS, but once they got here, I realized it was Bay Area Amusements. I shopped around, and they had the best price for licensed decals.

Don't worry...

Base coats of purple applied inside and on bottom of cabinet. I will mask and paint the area above the pf black.

Thank you.

I could, but that seems a bit too easy. I like the contrast of a bit of custom work. Let me know what you think once things are in place.

Thanks, Paul.

Harness cleaned and installed (with wiring for new Brightmods flipper buttons), new power cord, shooter assby, polished up prop rod.

Coin door in place.

I had a free weekend, and beer in the fridge. Things are going to get done.

Pf harness moved to new pf. Flippers got new bushings, switches, stops, sleeves, links, and bats. They will feel like new.
Put LEDs in all light boards.

Went to mount the legs today, and realized I was out of the Stern style cabinet protectors. I made these from a piece of mild steel angle. Should do the trick.

IMG_20170727_172752144 (resized).jpg

Thank you, I appreciate that.
Got her up on all fours today...

1501194902148642241077 (resized).jpg

I hear ya. I left that softball up there to see who would take a swing..
All black lower cabinet shows a lot of dust, spiderwebs, etc. Nothing wrong with a little color.
Thx for feedback.

Current state. New pops, new ramps.
Cleaning the face cube, I'll put that in tomorrow.

15014494309161267833517 (resized).jpg

Agreed. Needs some more lighting there.

Face cube in, blue nips in (with red flashers below).
Mini pf tomorrow.
Face cube ball guides getting the retrobrite treatment.

IMG_20170731_194504826 (resized).jpg

I would much rather have original faces, as this is a very nice example. A simple cleaning and slight polish, and these pieces are beautiful. No doubt about it.

Thank u. Ordered. Much rather buy new pieces.

I did the retrobrite treatment on the face guides and a few of the pf clear plastics. Here's the before.

IMG_20170730_121724220 (resized).jpg

And after 2 full days in the July sun.
Face guides junk. Pf plastics good.
Very good.

Product used.

Actually, I think the beer to peroxide ratio is approximately 100 to 1. I may need more research to finalize my study.

Backbox painted and decals applied. Lamp board painted and LEDs installed.

She is ready.

Thank you for the nice review. He was a pleasure to work with.

Thank you, Scott. Enjoy the BoP.
Thank you for the trust to make it happen.
Hope to work with you again,
Jerry

I have just gotten word that I can expect another Brunner pf in the coming months. If anyone is interested in a similar BoP, PM me, as I will be starting another soon.
Jerry

Thank you. I am in the middle of another at the moment. Expecting playfield to be delivered this week. Look under 2018 BoP Resto.
