Guys,

for the past 4 years I have been working on a the restoration of my HS2. I have documented the whole thing over at flippermarkt.de, the GErman Forum, but have decided to share with Pinside as well. This is the intro post. Please do not reply to this until all is there, which you can recognize by the sumary posting mentioning all the mods in the game.

In May 2014 I started with a rather heavily used Getaway with broken woods and all the lovely surprises below the surface. Check out the "raw material" here.

My decision was to do Cabinet and Playfield sequentially. This is my first restoration, so I didn't want tpo many parts around at the same time. I began by disassbling the back box.

I pulled everything apart, carefully documenting everything, then sorted all parts according to what they needed and prepared them for galvanic treatment and powder coating.

The stripped backbox required some woodwork, in specific: Repair broken bottom part, Sand, Fill, Paint, Decals.

With the backbox handled, I began the same procedure for the cabinet. Here is the teardown.

After the teardown comes the rebuilding. Im about 1.5 years into the whole thing at this point.

Time to talk about the playfield. Having it out of the machine revealed all its "beauty". The playfield scared me a bit with all the cables and numerous assemblies. I'd never done or tried this before, so it was a challenge - met by thorough documentation.

Teardown time = documentation time. Time mainly, somewhere at the end of year two.

Underside. Scary shit, which resulted in a long list of parts to buy in order to fix wreckage and rectifying earlier owners' rather creative attemps at fixing stuff.

Restoring the parts... tumbling, chrome, nickel, polishing and replacing.

Beautiful! Shocking transformation between your backbox before and after pictures. I love the rounded edges! Paint on the inside of the cabinet looks really cool. Playfield clearcoat is beautiful.

What's the chicken wire for? It made me think the problems I had trying to keep my cats off my playfield when I was swapping.

What board is to the left of the CPU board? What board is on the floor of the backbox?

Awesome work, just a beautiful result.

Where did you get the plastic over the targets to the right of the supercharger entrance?

Quoted from kyle5574:

Those are LED and GI OCD boards I believe.

Thanks for the nice comments

Quoted from kyle5574:

What's the chicken wire for?

I attached it to the cable tree with cable ties before lifting it off. Then rolled it up and ran it through the dishwasher. That way everything stays roughly where it is supposed to be and all I needed to do when re-attaching it, was to "roll" it back on...

Quoted from kyle5574:

GI OCD and LED OCD, respectively.

Wow! I'm truly nit-picky about details, but you have taken my reference point way up.

In one post, I thought I saw a small amount of the Diamond Plate flaking off (same problem I have, but far worse). Did you just sand down and clearcoat it, or did you additional work?

This was by far not the only spot. The entire playfield received preliminary sanding, then one clearcoat and complete airbrush reworking before applying the final many layers of clearcoat. I didn't do this myself - I dont' have those skills or equipment.
