First off when I was born I definitely shot right past and missed the artistic ability line, so showing this with so much artistic talent a lot off posters here have is definitely intimidating...pretty much like ripping apart a stepper or score motor units for the first time...hahahha...anyway, I do enjoy seeing all the pictures of different games, and also processes and stages of others restorations so I figured I'd show my first attempt on play field touch ups on a Jet spin.

I picked this up 2 or 3 months back and have been gradually working on it. I've completed cleaning and adjusting all relays, steppers, score reels in the head and on the motor/relay board. Inside cabinet chimes, knocker, etc. cleaned and rebuilt as well.

This morning I cleared the play field top and put it in my homemade rotisserie. The game plan is just to fill in or redo areas with acrylic then just put coats and coats of wax. No clear coating attempts by me so that 37 some years down the road the current owner may have the ability to that. It's definitely a player pin that I'll try to make look a little better, and play perfectly.

Also first attempt at posting pictures so hopefully this works.

Here are some shots of the play field how it sits today without any cleaning.

Also when ripping apart and cleaning the coin door I found these so naturally with my new found wealth I called PB Resource

Also ran into this hack or quick fix...guess whatever it took to keep the game making money or to get rid of it in the 80's.

Thanks for looking...I'll start doing the first stage of cleaning to get the dirt off then alcohol and magic eraser, followed by novus to see what it really looks like.

Roto-target is definitely another beaten part of this pin, but with some parts on hand I should be fine. I finished the time I had today cleaning the initial layer of dirt off the playfield with lightly sprayed simple green cloth then followed that up with very light pressure alcohol/ME combo and finally novus 2 to see what I had. Looks a little better so maybe test with another light alcohol/ME to see if more dirt (not paint) comes out tomorrow before I try some paint.

Question if anyone sees this....is novus 2 ok to put acrylic paint over, or should I use naptha or some other cleaner or prep before the paint?

A few before and after shots
