Now that my first restoration project Firepower is nearing completion I have an new fantastic project Star Gazer

This will be a complete restoration like my Firepower. Playfield clearcoating and all.

Best thing is the backglass which is very very good. Worth its weight in gold alone

Looks in nice shape.
The back glass and play field are available now,if it needed them.

#3 6 years ago

Looks like a nice original. I have playfields & backglass available for poor ones.

#8 6 years ago

Looks great!

#9 6 years ago

That's a project? That's a nice looking game. I'd restore the playfield if it were me.

I want the cabinet to be as Close to new as possible.
The playfield however, I want it to be as Close to new as possible regarding paintwork. Then add several layers of clear to make it durable and a joy to both play on and look at

And so it begins 2/7 2017 the restoration. Started by disassembly of playfield. No issues so far. The playfield is quite worn at several places so the work to get it very good will be hard and time consuming.

Here is my small restoration room. Some 4x4 meters perhaps. Cleaned since the last Firepower restoration.

Worst area that need to be touched up. Previous attempt to repair it does not look so good

Spinners need new decals. Or repainted. Think decals will look better. If there are any to buy of course.
