With the inside of the cab completed the glass channel and side rails installed and i had to put the head on to see what the total package would look like. And im diggin it. Looks fantastic i thank.

One thing I think i may change is the shiny new spiral screws. I was thinking it would look good with some other things that i left like the shooter spring but im thinkin black would look better. What do you guys think?

Im thinking Black also, and it does have lighted buttons, they are red but they do look black in the picture. Thanks for the input.

Yep i agree they are goin black.

Iv been keeping an eye on your progress and things are looking good. Im thinking the shiny bolt heads will look good with an all black cab.

Shes alive. I got my leds i got the display boards complete so i took some time today to make sure all electrical was good and I plugged it in. Wasn’t sure at first if it was working but the volume was all the down and I hadn’t put in the bulbs yet.
Im really digging these blue displays from wolffpac. I had a few segments that that didnt light from the beginning but just needed to reflow a few joints and all was good.

Here are the rest of the displays installed. I still have a few more leds to install on the bottom row but i need to get some more non ghosting bulbs. It looks really great. Im pretty excited.

All inserts have been wet sanded and my hole template made. It will come in real handy to aid in my search for all the drilled holes and sockets after clear coat and overlay.

Yes the lockdown bar will be black also. I dont think im clearing it, just a gloss enamel.
Im waiting on the weather be break to clear the playfield. Should be this coming wk. pretty excited to get moving on the clearcoat and overlay.

I have all the new bulbs, switches, and Parts for bumpers, slings and flippers.

Yeah the $300 P.O.S is looking more in the range of $1500 right now. I know its not a very sought after rare gem but hopefully it can be around for another 40 yrs. with the elbow grease I've put into it.

Playfield has been final sanded, inserts are down to 2000 grit.

Well i got the clear 2k down for the base coat. Going to take my buffer over the inserts but all in all I think it turned out pretty good. The last 2 pics are of the test for the over lay. I wanted to see how it was goin to react with the 2k. Went real good. I did a couple light coats 15 min apart and then did 2 more medium at about the same interval and then finished off the can an hr later.

I bought an overlay from classic arcade. I also couldnt find a plain triangle insert so I just went with the starburst.

I got around to putting down the overlay today. It went on really easy. Laid down nice and smooth with no bubbles. I only had one issue and from previous people’s experience with overlays I had the same. And that is an issue of all inserts not lining up. I did my best to line up inserts on the bottom half of the pf and offset the difference with the top 4 kings. Its not perfect but i think it turned out pretty damn good. Now just waiting for my clear to come in Wednesday.

Hardest part of the overlay was cutting out all the white areas.

1st round of 2k clear in the books. Turned out pretty good with no bubbling of the overlay. It has orange peel but i will wet sand that out and then on to the 2nd can of 2k for the final.

Round #2 of clear coat.
Playfield was wet sanded with 1500 and 2000. While doing so There were a few high spots arounds some inserts that actually got sanded down to the white of the overlay. No biggie though, luckily they were all in the black ring. So they just needed alittle touch up. Got those touched up and then applied 2 cans of 2k. There are still acouple slightly high spots around the inserts but looking really good over all. I think ill do another round but im not sure yet.

Hey guys Im looking for the large plastic on the right side that spans over the shooter lane. I have 2 but both are broke or cracked. Any body got one in good shape they are willing to get rid of?

Its been a couple wks since I have posted anything but things are back on track. I ended up putting 6 cans of 2k clear down. It turned out good. Not perfect. The clear went on super easy no issues there but it was just the overlay. To get out all the small bubbles from under the playfield was impossible. The slightest bubble shows up and it was mainly around the inserts.
It is still 100% better then what was there when i got the machine but not perfect.
I feel if I were to do this again I would not go with an overlay. The cost of the clear, new inserts, overlay and the time doing it, I would definitely spend the extra $300 to get a new pf. An overlay is good for when there is no other option. Anyway thats my thoughts on that.
I started populating the pf this wk, its coming together nicely. Got all the switches cleaned and installed. Drop Targets and stand ups installed. Pops started but not finished. I would have had the saucer kick outs finished but the kids have decided to hide the new saucer plates. Damn kidds.
Anyway those are on order and should be here mid wk.

Thanks for checking in with the project and we will keep trucking though.

Thanks I appreciate that.

All new LEDs installed under the PF also. I went with the same color frosted comets under the inserts but am going to try something different for the white "K" king and the "A"ace inserts. I thought it may be neat to put the RGB color changers under those. So once you go through that lane or hit the Ace saucers it would cycle through the colors instead of just white. Idk, we will see how it looks. What do you guys think? Do you guys have any in your game?

I am also trying the pink under the Orange inserts, Comet suggested trying it out so why not. I have amber/orange leds just in case.

Same here.
