Evel Knievel
Bally, 1977Got this project game in to get it running and swap the Playfield. The more I looked at it seemed like a good candidate to do a complete functional restoration with as many of the original parts as possible.

Just unplug the connector and take out the screws holding the chime unit to the cabinet. Then you can work on it on the bench.

That would have been a great idea. Would have been way simpler to hook back up. I had to stand on my head and solder it
Quoted from JT-Pinball:Fresh caps

Curious where you got the new caps?
I got the caps from PBR but I got stencils to do the art. I will go thru my mail and see if I can find the persons info that cut them for me.

That's okay, I've actually ordered some from him myself. I just haven't gotten around to using them yet. But when I saw yours, I was curious because the looked like factory and I didn't think anyone was making them now. Glad to see the stencils come out so nice.
Thanks

Yep. I just hit them with a few lite coats of Krylon Fusion Red Pepper / Safety Red.
