Don't get put off by a few small issues emerging & want to get rid of your QS. As suggested find a local trustworthy repairer & get them to go through any issues, check everything & you should be pretty much trouble free so you can then really enjoy the game.

The target mounting issue Cottonm4 cited should definetly be addressed, not a big deal for someone that can do this kind of work.

One thing I noticed, the pop bumper rods are metal & not the plastic type uesd on QS, the mounting assemblies are correct.

Metal ones will work of course, but he plastic ones have a much faster action as the game was intended - plastic pops were one of the new key features for this game, I'm assuming the plastic ones could be fitted to the existing mechs here? someone will know in case you want to look at having the correct plastic pop bumpers installed in your game when having other work carried out.,

Here are the correct parts.

True, finding one person that's a good pinball tech & also has ideally old school carpentry skills would be more difficult.

PM sent.

Looking for an original Quicksilver playfield if anyone has one to sell - would prefer to get hold of an original pf to restore rather than a repro. Some wear/touch-ups ok. Thanks.

I was wondering the same thing a couple of days ago for when I restore my recently acquired Quicksilver - a title which was near impossible to find in Australia!

Black/red has to go, I like the black/green as some games came with this combo from the factory (even though flyer depicts green/green) I'm glad I got an apron Decal in advance from Pinball Rescue before they closed.

Just realised my new decal has black text & outlines & not white, so will be doing green/green.

Quicksilver apron restored. Very happy with the results as I had not done one before. A big shout out to Gary gdonovan for going out of his way to help out with the decals & also with the installation & tips.

Thanks! I used the Rust-Oleum "Meadow Green" it was a bit lighter green than an original quicksilver apron I had here to compare with, but a pretty close match.

This was only section of the original apron that could be used as a reference as it was preserved by a decal which I removed.

Still looking for an original Quicksilver playfield (not a repro) to restore if anyone has one to sell. Some general wear/touch-ups ok, as long as the centre bonus area is not blown out. Thanks in advance.

Looking for an original centre drop target plastic for Quicksilver. Happy to buy a partial or full used set to get one. Thanks.

Thanks for the offer, I do have a repro plastic currently in the game that's ok, but was hoping to find an original plastic to complete the rest of the set which are perfect.
