Quoted from Pinoffski:

Absolutely love the bling stainless steel bits ..

Thanks Pinoffski - the stainless steel bling are from AVO and are really awsm.

I am going to install the anti glare play field glass today as I am right now doing a full clean and playfield ceramic polish.

It thanks to everyone on Pinside that I have been able to rebuild to the level I was looking for.

Thank you to all again and again

So just sharing in case it helps others. The final clean and touch up after I complete a restore or rebuild (from my non pinball) I find to be the most pleasurable but time consuming but it the one where I have to my manage my perfectionalism (not a real word )

I have spent most of today cleaning and polishing the inside of the can and top and underside of the play field with my son.

We use a car detailing vacuum attachment which lets us get into the smallest of places.

I recently bought a new one and luckily one of the attachments is a perfect fit inside lanes and ramps

One area that really helps with the look at a distance is to apply black acrylic paint to the edges of the staples for the earth braid as it keeps the braid looking straight and neat

The back of the cab is now something that is enjoyable to look at once it is clean and cable managed. I need to do a final polish to the shiny bits and line up all the hex heads so the points all, well point in the same direction and a polish of the inside wood of the cabinet but then I feel it is “done” in here.

Lots of little jobs but so I can say it’s the best I can do but I will no longer need to keep the glass off

Both games look great. For a small collection you have 2 really nice games.

Really well done! Hats off to you.

#156 3 years ago

looking real nice mate, well done

#158 3 years ago

Thanks you to all for your feedback. I have to admit it was very rewarding work with lots of new things learnt

Just really resisting the temptation to buy another pin to rebuild as I am running out of space. It is so addictive

So I have recently moved the pins around the living room and today, we finally got some sunshine in my part of my world and this really highlighted the Rad-cals

I have seen that the products from MircoPF have had some very mixed reviews and from what is shared, there are some questions, but my experience with the CFTBL and this CV playfield have been positive and the rad-cals are amazing.

I obviously have only had them only a few months so time will tell but here are some photos I took today with the welcomed sunshine streaming in

I still have some protective film to remove around the flipper buttons and rear legs (really wish I had done this sooner) but the shine and colours are stunning though admittedly not exactly the same colours as the original
