Wow! I love that set up. Makes future adjustments on the bench or switch removal and reinstallation a breeze.

Chris,
I don't have a game going to you and probably never will (although I would love it). But you are an inspiration to many of us. Your weekly updates are incredible, and I love to see your progress. I may just have to send you some local beer because I am in awe! Thank you for your sharing your "journey".

Quoted from High_End_Pins:They turned out great The key is to leave some slack in there for them to move around.[quoted image]
Once they come out of the tumbler, do how do you protect them? The tumbler usually removes some sort of protective coating on the metal.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Looks good. I decided to join you long distance.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Yours looks equally as good. Enjoy.

Quoted from meSz:You know the neighbors are rolling their eyes and saying “there goes Chris taking pictures of a machine again..... didnt he just take pictures of that machine a few days ago?”!!!
Those were my thoughts exactly. Chances are they don't have a clue of who their neighbor really is or what the hell he really does. And they shake their head every time a machine comes outside.

Not to derail this awesome thread. With the same SEM products and some attention to detail, I was able to redo a set of rails and lockdown bar for an X-Files using the procedures Chris detailed out in his POTO restore. I'm very pleased with the results.

The woodrail is absolutely gorgeous, and I didn't think I would say that about a pin of that era. But the question is on everyone's minds........What will be the HEP Memorial Day weekend food of choice???? Will it be salmon, lobster, chicken, steaks? and the fixin's, and the beer????? I guess we'll have to wait for the official word. Happy Memorial Day everyone, stay safe.

Thank you Chris. Secondary question. I notice a lot of the fine sandpapers don't have holes. I would think that would interfere with dust collection and messing up the fine grit of the sandpaper.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Woodcraft for the Festool sandpaper
Local automotive paint supplier for the 3M papers.
The Festool paper is good for all the rough grits up to 400
From 400 on 3M is preferred.

I think there was an update to the site. Its worse trying to post pictures from a phone.
That is probably the most beautiful AF I have seen. It's gorgeous Chris. Black trim on so many machines looks incredible. Especially on this one with the black ramps.

Chris, when you are using fiberglass on your cabinets, it looks like it has fiberglass strand in it, and not just resin. Are you purchasing it with fiberglass strand already in the mix or are you cutting up fiberglass mat to mix in?
Quoted from AUKraut:Available at Homedepot and other stores: [quoted image]
I just saw that the other day at home depot. Thank you.

Chris, what are you using to just clean the face up? Is it bondo? Once you sand out, is there any other filler or glazing type putty that you use to fill imperfections? I think I've read it in this thread before, but sometimes hard to find it again.

After reading Robins post I am suspending this thread until it is stable again as I don’t want to drag things down.
Always looking forward to when you resume your thread.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:I got the updated Shadow decals and applied them. Looking forward to some fresh projects as well as focusing on some of those only semi in provinces like the C-37 now that I can clear some space.

Those look great. Are they also from pinballdecals.eu? The pictures look nice and blue on the face, not purple.

Quoted from Sixtieskid:Very nice! My first bike was a YZ 80 in 76
My first was a Suzuki TM 75 around the same time frame.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:That was the first bike my brother(RIP)got. Same year and everything.
I have thought about doing one of those to recreate the pair just for fun.
That could be an awesome cathartic project. Your attention to detail and your commitment to "your" perfection are admirable. Anything you put your talent to is simply incredible and a work of art.

Christopher,
When you are "dialing down" the clear to become more satin or matte. What are you using to do so in the mixture? Is there some sort of a "matte" product? Beautiful work. And that bike frame, I could comb what hair I have in it.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:I was thinking it would make a great tap handle for a hazy IPA at a dive strip club.
It would fit perfectly on a New England IPA craft beer tap.

Quoted from PinMonk:China Spray booth has a similar, but still different one:
https://yokistar.en.made-in-china.com/product/JsYncRyHggWe/China-Heavy-Duty-Portable-Automotive-Windshield-Stand.html
But I think Burco is the one you are looking for:
https://burcoinc.com/english/products/windshield-racks/windshield-stand/windshield-prep-stand
Burco is the direction I'm looking for. There also might be a better way to Google to find the proper type than I had been doing. Thank you.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:These might be tough to get.I usually have to jump through hoops to get them myself.They require you are in the business or buy from a retailer but no one ever stocks them.
I could possibly organize a group buy.
https://burcoinc.com/english/products/windshield-racks/windshield-stand/windshield-prep-stand
I'll work a little bit harder on my end here.. I have a friend of mine that runs an auto body shop in my town.. He may have a direction for me. Group buy may be a good possibility though as well if the interest level was there. Thanks

I love the concept of adding the drop target like the prototype. The hardware portion looks straight forward. How does it work in the game? Is there a different ROM you use? Where do you tie the wires into? Just got a DH. I gotsta know.
Quoted from DaMoib:https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=684
From IPDB: "Sample (test) games had a drop target in front of the Warehouse entrance. This was removed before full production, but the latest software still supports it."
Thank you. Appreciate the info.
Quoted from High_End_Pins:Hopefully this covers it.
Dirty Harry Pinball 15
Thank you Chris. That video explains it all. Appreciate you taking the time to document all these interesting things.

Quoted from High_End_Pins:Maverick and I survived the monsoon yesterday.
He is always so alert. [quoted image]
In order to make room for my Whirlwinds. I need to work the room clean.
Repacking a ToM I recently completed but revisited to add more mods. Complete again now with a shaker,lighted buttons,speaker grills ,more brass,gold mirror blades ,separate power supply,mirrored backglass ,led ocd boards ,motorized saw,some fancy mirror thing and a chain on the trunk.
People really seem to want all the bells and whistles these days. I guess I am out of step on that.

Maybe out of step. LOL. But...the customer is always right.....And anything you touch, always comes out like butta!!!!! You can't let it bother you.
