Quoted from jmmasterson:Hello Fellow Space Shuttle Pilots!
I am a relatively new pinhead, and recently became the proud owner of my very first pin, a Space Shuttle in need of serious restoration that I picked up from the benevolent restorer, rhettkun .
I will make a separate thread to track my restoration journey (I'm a n00b, so it's gonna take a while), but I thought I'd share some "before" pictures here, and eventually the "after" pics.
My plan is to follow, as closely as possible, the amazing restoration process fastidiously outlined by beatmaster in this thread:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/space-shuttle-restoration-it-has-begun . Countdown to launch, and wish me luck on re-entry!
Space Shuttle was my first pin also. I bought it because it was affordable and local. Its a great pin to start off with. Sold it a few years ago and bought another more recently.
Here is a picture of what I did with the ramp entrances on mine that are always BTS. I made some simple protectors at work on the laser to hide the damage.
