Well, I did it. I bought a roached DE batman. My PF look like everyone elses' which is no surprise really. Before I started tearing down I had to see if I could do anything about it. I did some digging and managed to find some images and scans that were not too terrible. I sent them off to a graphic designer to work on them for me, and he is very confident that he can make a very usable image for me to print an overlay. So I decided a total resto is in order.

This will take some time and get worked on whenever I have a spare minute. So far I have the PF stripped and got one round of sanding in this evening. Still needs more work to get the PF clear of paint and mylar. I have a list of parts to order, and when I have a few extra bucks I'll order some cab decals from retro refurbs.

I'm planning on making decals for a few things, so when I get the scans done I'll post them all up for people to use. Specifically the joker ramp as my decals are great.

Anyhow here are a few pics of where I'm at with the PF stripping.

Cheers

Thanks guys

Gonna be a long project, but totally worth it. This game has always been very high on my list to own. Restoration is going to be super fun! It's part of what makes this hobby so great for me!

Cheers

I've seen this before. That guy has unbelieveable talent. Much more than me haha. I'm just really hoping my graphic artist can make something happen so i can at least get a useable overlay or something for it.

Thanks so much! Im super determined for this project. Before i started stripping, i did the work to get it playing at least. So i have good bones to start with.

Looks great! Luckily my ramps are good. One of the new replacement badcaves came with my game so im good there too! Those are worth it if yours is cracked up.

Thanks! I hope for some good news soon myself!

That looks amazing! great work on that!

Not a huge update, but i got a few hours in last night and finally got all the artwork off the pf. There is 4 raised interts to deal with and a couple sunk one I'll get leveled out hopefully this weekend.

Good news though! I got some artwork sorted out this week, so if all goes well, ill have a printed tester overlay by the weekend.

Todays goal is getting my joker ramp decals scanned and cleaned up. Unfortunately, everyone seems to be sold out of the repo ramps, so im not sure what ill do there yet. If anyone has a spare joker ramp they would part with, ill happily buy it off ya.

So I got my joker ramp decals scanned. They're complete, but a little rough (color) I'll link them here if any photoshop whizzes want to take a crack at it. I'm hiring a local GD to go over my personal set, then I'll create some new waterslides for whatever I can find for a half decent ramp. I might try to repair mine for now wheile a search for one of the repos. Hope this helps someone out. I scanned them at 600DPI, so they should be good enough to work with.

Sure thing!I'll be at my workshop this evening and can snap some pics for ya!

Thanks man, I haven't had much time the last couple of weeks to touch it unfortunately. But I'm planning on getting a test print for the overlay done next week and make sure it all lines up. Then it should go much faster.
