Quoted from beelzeboob:as well as Skypilot's equally-great thread about his Funhouse restoration for game-specific issues: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/funhouse-restoration
Thanks for the compliment 
Good luck on the restoration. If your missing any pictures PM me and I will see if I have what you need.
Quoted from beelzeboob:You Bondo. You wait. You sand with 80, 120, 220...
You find another dent/ding/chip.
You Bondo. You wait. You sand with 80, 120, 220...

And on and on it goes...
Ya, that joke never gets old.
Quoted from beelzeboob:I just feel like buying a new cabinet is cheating in a way
There is a varying degree of opinions on this. For some there is no better alternative due to logistics,tools and facilities. Some are just not interested in originality. I personally look at the cabinet sanding/painting as a pain in the ass but choose to do it because of the same thoughts you have.
Quoted from PinballMikeD:Building a new cabinet is just as much work, if not more?
Not disputing that at all. I believe he meant purchasing one.
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:Some of us can do it without our wife's help too.
Not Jim though. His wife makes sure he puts the sticky side down.
Quoted from beelzeboob:you should be confident enough to admit your errors.
My errors are that I like restoring pinball machines
Quoted from beelzeboob:20+ years have a way of making everything look flat.
I see what you did here
Quoted from beelzeboob:Le cabinet c'est finis!
Sounds french to me...wee'wee!
Quoted from beelzeboob:helicopter seedlings
I think yours landed in my pool along with every other F%&King one in the country.
Quoted from mof:I would pick up the burger, and continue eating it.
MOF we use plates in Ohio. 
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:Some learn from their mistakes
Obviously you and I haven't we continue to restore. Stamp collecting ,that's where its at. 
In all jest, Randy, Its looking great!
Quoted from beelzeboob:Sure.
I picture Chris Hutchins gently caressing the old solder off the leads down there at HEP. But as the thread title states, this ain't no HEP restoration. And I'm white trash, so Bryan Kelly's method works perfectly for me. Here's how you do it:
1. Heat the old solder until it liquifies.
2. Smack the shit out of it against a hard surface.
3. Repeat.
4. If you smacked it too hard and broke off the lead (I didn't), go online and order another coil.
Great system...can't be beat. Enjoy!
LMAO
Quoted from beelzeboob:That's Italy.
