Heavy Hitter
Bally, 1958Hi all,
I have a Bally Heavy Hitter playfield (https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1149) that I am trying to restore and I am having problems. As seen in the pics the paint has cracked and the cracks are filled with black residue. I have tried all of the recommended cleaning procedures such as alcohol and magic eraser but nothing seems to work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
