These videos are great ! Thanks for taking the time to do these .

Jim

Great vids!

Chris, thanks for taking time for these instructional videos. I think that they are excellent. Quick question- in one of the past videos you mentioned that a galvanized part was "hand polished" What polishes or materials or techniques did you use for these? Wally

Great stuff as usual Chris.

I swear I could watch your videos all day.

Chris would it possible for you to leave your videos up? The MM series was great but now is taken down mainly. Also noticed you had a ton of videos as Krull marked private. Could you share these with the public and than leave them up?

Really enjoy them and pushed me over the edge to have games restored with you.

Very surprising to find out that a warped PF isn't a big deal.

Always enjoy your videos, thanks for posting.

Great work Chris!

Everyone should watch these -pin restorers or not.

Thanks for the continued education Christopher. I learn a lot every time I watch, including what's best left to the pros.

To many more,

Brian

Chris, thanks for taking the time to do these videos. I enjoy each one you do.

I am waiting on my CPR Whirlwind play field, though after watching your video, I'd like to drop ship to someone to go over it first.

Love watching these! Just picked up a pretty rough Playboy tonight and thinking about giving a similar treatment if I can find all the parts.

Thanks Chris! I really enjoy watching these!

Awesome stuff! Thanks!

Looks like I know what I am doing at work today during down times.

Chris, more excellent videos indeed!

Whenever I have a new cab CNCed, I always spec MDF faced plywood. It is sold as "paint ready" because it is already sealed and super smooth finished. With no knots, boatmen patches or grain, it is a mega time saver for me.

The best replacement for the Bally backbox ground plane I've found is .02 aluminum roofing coil. It comes in 24" rolls , cuts with a razor knife and takes staples even with a hand stapler. It has a very thin polyester layer on it, so it never loses it's shine from oxidation, but still conducts electricity. Those 80's Bally with the foil covered cardboard ground planes are about the crappiest thing I've ever seen.

Has anyone ever requested an all MDF cabinet, so they could have the heaviest game ever?

Thanks again for the videos!

Love the videos Chris! Please keep them going. It's really amazing seeing all the work you do. Thanks for doing them!

Brian

I just watched the first 4 parts in a row, and I'm only pausing to make sure I remembered to come back here and comment so you'd know it was being appreciated. These are excellent, thanks for taking all the extra time effort to share and document like this!

Edit: Dangit, ran out of video, now I have to wait!

Your videos are awesome and I enjoy watching them.
Thanks for making them available. Keep up the great work.

Thanks again Chris.. now need to find the time to watch these!

Not sure if it was MDF or some kind of particle board/pressed wood variant, but I had a Rapid Fire which pretty much won the heavyweight prize although EBD Limited and Centaur II were technically heavier since the playfield on Rapid Fire only weighted about twent y pounds and the flipper playfields were much heavier. The route Op I worked for had several EBD's and a couple of Centaur II's

Awesome work Chris!

Thanks a ton for doing these vids. Just remember, for each one of us who thanks you, there are many more folks who love the vids but don't take the time to say thanks. I'm sure they appreciate them as much as the rest of us.

Chris, Thanks for taking the time to document the intricate process. I keep checking both the pictures and YouTube every day to see if there are any changes. Each time a new video shows up I feel like a kid in a candy store. Can't wait to see the finished game in person. Thanks!

They have it at the aluminum siding/roofing supply joint.

I have a sheet metal brake that bends great looking corners, but they guys at the supply house will bend it for 50 cents a bend if you want.

Just wanted to agree with everyone else. The videos are fantastic! I'll be starting a Playboy restore next month and this is an amazing resource. Keep'em coming!

Thanks for putting these up Chris. Many of us greatly appreciate the time and effort involved. Totally understand not making it a step by step how to. Just a bit of insight into your process is worth alot in my opinion!

Excellent, will definitely watch these, loved what you've done up to this point.

the attention to detail is amazing.

Amazing !

As I've said it before, you do great work!

Chris, I have to ask, is Nike kicking in production money for these videos? I think you've got a Nike shirt on in every single one.

My guess is Avengers is next , wonder how many tweaks that will get and how amazing it will be.

Amazing work Chris as usual and love your videos.

Simply amazing!

It's terrific that you not only have the talent to do this level of work, but that you take the time and effort to share the behind-the-scenes process with the community. Thank you!

as always, very nice work, i'm glade to see i'm not the only one going overboard on a early ss game.

can't wait to see your next videos.

Very true. The documentation he does (even before videos - just the comments on photos every step of the way) is only exceeded by the work itself.

I really appreciate the videos and the work that goes into these projects. You should get contingency sponsorships from Nike AND Festool.

I also humbly beg for a video on cabinet decal corners!

Chris,

Any thoughts into sharing a few cabinet repair tricks? (Like Vid does for playfield and components?)

I'd like to see how you get the routed in 'lip' back on the underside of a cab that has broken off, or replace a water damaged cab bottom, or crowbar damaged trim plate under the coinbox.

Keep up the good work, you're making me wish I never sold my Playboy years ago for cheap money.

Chris,
I think you covered this before on some forum, but were you gettting spam or having people steal your pictures from your site? I remember viewing the Krull series last year, very informative. Even if one has the skillset for your level of restoration, the tools and facilities are another hurdle. Still, it's very interesting to watch your process.

This is why I think he does not make to many threads here takes his time away from his passion, and business. I asked same questions and I do understand his perspective on why we do not have access to all his work at all times and I think it has nothing to do with competition and everything to do with lots of questions on his work.

We're just lucky to have anything coming from currently the best in the world at he trade. I watch his videos as soon as there posted because I know normally they come down eventually.

He is up to his ears in work so no promotion is really needed.

Cannot wait for his next game and hopefully one day one of my machines will be features in a series of videos this year. Would be cool that's for sure.

Thanks Chrs for what you do and I'm working hard to be able to pay for my jobs.
