Hello Everyone - I’ve been restoring arcade cabinets for 4 years now and recently took on my first Pinball Restoration project and boy is it a doozy! To be honest it doesn’t make me flinch - it should be a pretty easy restore. All the important parts like the playfield, plastics and boards are in great shape. The wood on the backbox is good too - just needs a little edge repair- nothing a little Bondo can’t fix. The bottombox on the other hand has some pretty extensive water damage and I believe I will need to recreate - it which is something I am able to do. The game came with all new art however I am considering getting stencils. Well I know I’ll need some help so I am starting this thread. I’ll post my first question in the next post. Thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions as to some modifications please feel free to post em.

I’ll consider it - current update - I routed out a copy of the front panel, I’m gonna attempt to replace the front and bottom of the body of the cabinet. I also started cleaning various part. I need to remove everything from the head so I can restore it first. Also does anyone know the name of the spacer part in the last photo? I need a few to replace the broken ones on this cabinet. They are from the back of the little score LCD screens and they attach it to the PCB.

Well last weekend we installed Frank’s Lithium Battery Mod - the battery box was removed before I got this machine so we had not been able to boot it up properly. After the install and figuring out the door wasn’t grounded we got the game to boot. For the most part it seems every is working. I’ll post a video in a few days.

Thanks - I was able to find them at a local store prior to buying them online. I replaced all but one of the pegs today. Slowly tackling one issue at a time.

Thanks for the heads up - a friend that is working with me on this game will be able to make out a bit more of what you are saying here. We will definitely attempt to address this issue.
