Mike-- Those parts look great. Can't wait to see how they go back together. Any luck on the Centaur lightboard?

Quoted from PinballMikeD:

Here are some pics of the flippers and the orb drop target mechs all rebuilt. This illustrates what the powdered parts look like once assembled (for those that have inquired). For shits and giggles, I also cleaned and repainted all the 8-32 machine screws with a high gloss black paint.

Gorgeous looking, Mike. The powder-coating looks like it'll work beautifully.

Quoted from HPR:

In my opinion, the linear offer better feeling and control on the ball. I like them better than the non-linear.

As a classic Bally collector, I very much agree.

That coin door is gorgeous, Mike. The cabinet repair is not even noticeable. Great work!

Here's a close up pic of the coin door rebuilt before it was reinstalled.

That coin door is a work of art in itself.

Quoted from PinballMikeD:

Cabinet is finally done (well still need to put the power cable in, but that's it). Here's a before and after look; a shot of the shooter rod as an example. Man this whole game was really beat.

Very sweet, Mike. Did you get any cabinet protectors?

Quoted from PinballMikeD:

Got the metal stern ones, so the legs don't touch the cabinet

Ah yes, perfect.

#127 10 years ago

Amazing looking.

Quoted from PinballMikeD:

David, here is a pic of the repaired back box corner. Wish I had taken a before pic. This was the corner that was cracked/gaped at the top.

Good as new. Tell Mike thanks!

Nice!
