Haha yea I snatched it up as soon as I saw it. The market here is rough in Milwaukee for Pinballs at least craigslist wise. I figured Id grab it since it was a decent deal.
Quoted from EMsInKC:I'll give you a run for your money. A Sky Jump I restored (there was no scrubbing this game down).
Before...After...
I changed the blue color because I liked the look better.
Also the playfield was really darkened. We think heat was the cause of all this...Wade Krause repro installed...
Did you end up repainting it? Looks awesome!
Anyone have good luck with novus 2 on these older machines for cleaning? I was going to novus 2 the field then wax with carnuba wax. Just trying to see what everyone else would attempt. I am assuming its safe the clean the metal top areas of the play field (where the cards go etc) with regular water/soap?
Quoted from jrpinball:Recently I've been using Novus 2 on my EM playfields, but only after cleaning. Then I wax over the Novus with Mother's Carnauba Wax (no cleaners).
Be careful cleaning the metal card tray and upper arch if they have webbing on them. I don't know about Chicago Coin games, but the webbing on Gottlieb card trays comes off very easily. Whatever method you use, try it on a small area first.
Thanks for the reply, what are you cleaning it with before the Novus 2? I will try to get a picture of the playfield it might have webbing I am not really sure.
