Well almost complete. In the Spring, I'm going to make a wooden backbox door to replace the nasty metal one. And I still need to decide whether to attempt to fix the backglass or buy a replacement.

Further details are in the thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/bare-wood-em-playfield-repaint
Cabinet painting with laser cut stencils described here:

This machine was purchased for $50. It had a terrible stink of smoke and had been stored in a garage where something stashed sunflower seeds inside. It has undergone a pretty thorough restoration!
- new legs
- new cabinet back made out of plywood to replace the damaged particleboard back
- new siderails
- cabinet sanded clean and repainted using laser-cut stencils
- all mechs tumbled/polished/cleaned
- playfield completely repainted
- inside wood rails sanded and repainted
- top arch repainted blue to match the apron
- door and lockbar sanded and polished

For now I left the apron original.

This project was pretty challenging, particularly repainting the playfield. Now I know it can be done, at least on something nice and geometric as this one.

On to the next project!

You know, I never thought that the metal door is basically hollow. I’ll definitely confirm first!

I ended up spraying the backbox cover with cold zinc paint. Looks fine.

Bought a replacement for the backglass from https://www.coos.net/bingo_e/Backglasses.html
