Just pick up Two new Project Machines. Golden Bells and Poker Face. Anyone guess what is different about golden bells? http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1045

Quoted from jrpinball:

"Golden Bells" is supposed to be in a woodrail cabinet. Yours looks to be transplanted into a later cabinet.

Right on the money. Now I have to decide to leave it as is (Repaint) or build a wood rail cabinet from scratch.

Quoted from jrpinball:

Does your "Poker Face" have metal strips along the upper inside edge of the cabinet? Most woodrails do, but mine is painted silver instead. I'm wondering if that was original, or done afterward. I don't see any nail holes where they might have been.

Hoping to look at it on the weekend (if it is warmer). I'll snap a pic and PM you.

Golden bells. Thanks for all the feed back. I post before and after pic's when I getting working. (Including the backglass with the lights on)

Look like just wood.

Here are some before and after picks of my 1953 Gottlieb Poker face. My 3rd EM and my first woodrail.
No automotive clear coat and I haven’t replaced the backglass. (Outside my budget).
Thanks to all of the pinheads on this site. I didn’t post any question, because someone else had a similar issue and posted a fix.

Special thanks to:

No automotive clear coat and I haven’t replaced the backglass. (Outside my budget).

Quoted from singlezero:

It was wood painted red. I stripped it and painted it blue to better match my colour scheme. Have no idea if was stock.
