Finally finished the Roto pool.
Various electrical fixes to get it working again, replaced a small section of the cab eaten by woodworm, remade the wood rails and head frame (also been eaten by worm), stabilised the flaking glass, repainted the cab and just finished stencilling using Mylar stencils. Not perfect but ok for a first pinball. I’m happy with it anyway.

Good job! Glad your glass was worth saving. Mine was too far gone and I had to by a reproduction. Nice work on the wood and stencils. On mine the previous owner had sanded the paint and I had nothing to stencil from. I think the stained wood looks ok though. Good job on your first pin.

Nicely done. I started off fixing an EM for my first game too. Still have it 15 or so years later.

Looks good. There was nothing left of the original paint on mine. The whole cab had been painted black! I just found a pic of the cab on mine a created the vector art from looking at that.
