Quoted from lb1:I have this and it works great http://www.arbortime.mountainminded.net/html/the_better_tonka_rivet_tool_-_.html. It's no longer for sale though.
With some encouragement, Vid might be able to pull out some magic yet again and come up with a $40 alternative that does not require buying a press and set of dies.
I purchased this tubular rivet clincher about a month ago on Ebay. Keep checking as they are usually offered about once per month from this seller.

I also have a tubular rivet squeezer very similar to this and it is very easy to use and works great for doing ramp flaps and other types of pinball riveting. Those are pretty decent prices for a quality tubular rivet squeezer.

Quoted from jboner1058:I've got it as clean as it is going to get. I need to get a smaller sharp chisel to dig up some old clearcoat on some chipped and ghosting inserts, then I will be fixing the wood. Wood putty comes today, hopefully it being 15 degrees out didn't freeze and ruin it
The amount of patience that you are displaying during your playfield restoration is amazing. Keep up the good work.
