I am making a new harness for the GI to the transformer.

I have already repinnned and replaced the connector
The style will be different.

The new wires will be doubled at the connector for the transformer so the loops won’t be needed at the header on the board.
Will make for less heat. A total of eight full length wires now in place.

It reminds that the true mark of a craftsmen is attention to detail that nobody will ever see.

I am painting the new playfield rails and old backboard to match the apron which is the lighter shade of blue used on the cabinet not the main color.

Took this much water to dilute it. The entire liter. image (resized).jpg
My stomach will be sloshing as I clear the rails no doubt.

While I am out here I am going to prep a spare TZ playfield for another upcoming project.
It was cleared once long ago
Now sanded.
image (resized).jpgWhat does the TZ playfield need to be worth using again?
Has a small poke out in the lane exit area.
image (resized).jpg
Typical ball drop damage to the slot inlane.
image (resized).jpg
Gumball exit wear. image (resized).jpg
That is it structurally.
TZ playfield structurally is now sound.
Repairs made with fiberglass. 633F3689-3C1F-4D1F-BAEC-CF82E96636E5 (resized).jpeg2F028B4B-4003-4AC1-A5E9-2B6A35223FD3 (resized).jpeg28743799-4EDA-4CD8-9ACE-E78D06B9B53F (resized).jpeg
Then sanded and shaped. I filled a couple screw holes as well that look a little wallowed out.

Chris, amazing work as always.
What do you do with playfields that are replaced? I'm interested in buying some as art.

Thanks
I return them to the owners if requested and if not I use them for templates or occasionally list them for sale after they accumulate to a point of getting in the way.
Quoted from Dallas_Pin:Chris, what type/brand of fiberglass do you use for your playfield repairs?
Usually evercoat tiger hair if it is minimal.
If really bad I would probably break out the pure fiberglass resin and mat.
Managed to finish the cut outs for the TZ donor playfield wood tones then sprayed them.
Just looking to make it look a bit more uniform and show well once assembled.
We’ll see once unmasked what is next.
image (resized).jpgimage (resized).jpgQuoted from High_End_Pins:Yes that is it. Or it was depending on how you look at it.
So it was prototype?
TZ is all set for the next clear. image (resized).jpg
Next I want to prep the IPB CV playfield I am doing as a favor to a friend.
image (resized).jpg
The clear is terrible.
image (resized).jpg
JTC insert is a mess.
image (resized).jpg
The volt insert sucks.
image (resized).jpg
Pretty sure this was done with a sharpie.
image (resized).jpgQuoted from Balaraform:So it was prototype?
No that was just a sample game.
I have a prototype here though.
Quoted from fossmin:Do you use the same on small cabinet repairs?
Depending on the size and location of the repair yes.
Quoted from YZRider926:Where do you get your beers from? You always seem to have something different.
I hunt around.
I mostly mail order from Bruisin Ales or Craftshack
You pay more but when it comes to beer or fish it all ends up in the sewer anyway.
This was the same Frog that shut me down last night.
Toris the Tyrant but that was after teaming it with the Tuesday beer. Today I pace myself like Richie Cunningham with the small glasses
image (resized).jpg
Quoted from YZRider926:Thanks Chris. Looks like I’m out on the mail order, don’t ship to VA.
I know VA,PA and few others don’t allow it. Good work around is to find a Pinsider and do beer trades.
First round is done on the CV.

It is true.
My wife and I have been together since we were in our mid teens.
She is the true definition of a homemaker.
Very rare these days.
She takes care of us I take care of everything else. Everything we do here is old school. It is a way of life from the work to the woman 
Quoted from Pbpins:The phone is down to 5%, better get that charging or there will be no more beer texts!
Yeah.
I have a charger out here
Even a WiFi satellite.
image (resized).jpgimage (resized).jpgLast playfield prep is a CPR TAF
I have drilled and dimpled using all HEP experience with this particular playfield. I will now clear.
This has no home and is for sale.

Not a bad idea. Getting into home brewing so was hoping to try some different styles.
CPR TAF clearcoating done.
image (resized).jpgIPB CV clear part 1 done.
Will need more work because I can’t do the light blue on the JTC insert without smoothing the white and protecting it first
