Space Shuttle
Williams, 1984I have a Space Shuttle that I am going to restore.
I'm starting with the playfield and wanted to ask some of you what o should do.
I was going to send it to John at Great Pinball Limited, but after looking at it, I may be able to touch it up.
I really like the new look of Johns playfields and I don't think any amount of cleaning is going to get the whites to pop again.
What would you do?
What's up with the repros? I got a set squirreled away for my restoration, but never looked at them.
Wow... that one looks in almost identical shape to the one I restored... or refurbished... or resurrected...? I don't dare say it's as good a "restore" as others, but to most people it turned out pretty dang nice. I touched it up by hand.
Anyway, I just dove in and learned along the way with a lot of help from folks here. You can read about it here:

Fair warning though, I talk too damn much. Sorry in advance...
EDIT: What the... I just saw you're in Louisville! You ever come near Frankfort, look me up and if I can help you out I'd be glad to.

You did an amazing job on your restoration. If I run into trouble, I will hit you up. On the bright side this game was fully functional when I pulled the play field out.
I actually live over in Indiana, just north of Louisville. The closer I get to Lexington, the more I feel as a pilgrim in an unholy land.
