I did a couple of pieces but turns out just about everything polished out better than my platting efforts.

Nickel plating, very much a homebrew effort. There are a lot of YouTube videos on the topic and I feel I could get better results with more prep work, but when it is all said and done, most stuff polished out.

What all did you do for the playfield artwork to freshen it up? It looks good. I've got a Lady Robinhook in queue and any suggestions or tips you've got would be great.

Regards.

My King Pin project... got the guts to the back box completed.

I now have 2 Jumpin' Jacks... twice as many as any other Jumpin' Jack's owner.

10 hours round trip total this weekend... but now I have a mostly complete Sea Wolf, no legs, no lock down bar.

Tom Tom... what you see is all I have, no back box. But it did come with a large mouse nest inside of it. I pulled that out before loading into the car. I got into the car and made it all of 30 yards down the road when the strong smell of mouse piss hit me. It was bad. I was staying the night at a friend's place 1 hour away. Once I got to his house, we pulled the pins out, fully shopped them out (vacuumed out mouse turds), and then dumped a box of backing soda where the mouse nest was. 4 hours later the baking soda had absorbed a fair amount of moisture. I vacuumed it out and with that, it didn't smell.

Getting closer to wrapping this project up:

There are a hand full of electrical bugs to chase down. Cosmetically, the apron and back box rear panel are the last major things. Once I get the rest of the to-do list for it finished, I'm sure I can get at least $5000 on craigslist for this rare collectable vintage mancave pinball game! </sarcasm>

Mine was the same way... the backbox was holding together via the power of "thoughts and prayers". But nothing a bottle of glue and clamps couldn't fix up. The artwork was easy to repaint. If you have access to a plotter cutter, I can send you the files so you can make your own stencils fro the bowling ball, pins and some other bits. The pointy lines, I just measured the original and then masked off with blue tape.
