I wish I would have posted this earlier for those that have painted cabinets. I bought this machine last Thursday for $25. It was in bookkeeping mode and the cabinet was painted.
3 min to get machine going.
$6 for external battery holder and plugs.
3hrs cleaning pcbs and re soldering all connections on boards.
$6 can of goof off. Bought @ lowes etc. not to be confused w/goo gone
Machine works flawless only thing it needs is two glass score displays.
one side took 48 min from start to finish.
Not too shabby for $37 and less than 10 hours of my time.

lb45 had problems attaching with this post and I see MCO also has some issues. I'll contact Robin and have him check if there is a problem on the server with attachments.

Whouaaahhhhhhhh --> argh .
I ' m sure that i didn't destroy my pinball , because the left side was without picture under the final paint . Directly to the wood !
But what a magic product , your Goof of. I would had better to use it on the upper part and on the right side . (argh..).
I'm not sure about the translation , so i'm not sure about the product : --decapant--Is this stripper - remover ?
Thank's for this method.

Thank's MCO
I could never understand why the 1st thing people do
when they get an old pin home is to paint it over? 
do they really think solid black is an improvement over the factory look?
-Nuts
Haven't you watched all the home renovation shows AF ???
It can't be old or 70's paneling or etc ... paint paint paint it 
The original Panthera paint looked like it was in pretty good shape. I could understand maybe painting over it if it were pink or risque' or something but that panther is pretty cool. Must not have matched the sofa.
At least now you can make your own stencil if you wish.
$25 for a pin that works. JACKPOT!
The Flight 2000 APPEARED in my garage over two years ago, I still don't know who dropped the pin off. Strange part : Play field has absolutely not the first nick etc. , everything works - It's flawless!!!!!! Close to a museum piece.....
The bubble hockey was dropped off by a coworker - He found it sitting outside a dumpster with a note taped to it "WORKS" so he brought it to me. I'm waiting for the ice banks and new nets. I checked it over- all it needed was a fan on the scoreboard to be operational.
FYI -BD I hate those renovation shows all they push is earth tones
brown and tan - ha ha ha 
but you guys are finding some great deals!
every day I keep reading -and now I'm looking

Hi guys,
Happy to be back with you !
I was offline , due to holidays in "Auvergne" , the area I do love.
These 6 days were with far of snow, and i was able to change my Panthera in ..... blue.
I'm slightly disappointed because i couldn't finish this job, but i prefer to take time between the differents coats.
Thank's for your help.
