Hi to all,

I have recently pick up a Spider-Man Machine and im decided to make a restoration of it, first of all i apologize for my english, and if im not following all the rules of it, just tell me, because i never made a post about any restoration.

My initial purpose is to make the best possible, and really hope i can motivate others to do the same
For sure i have lot to learn and if you have any opinions/sugestions please post them.

The bad:
- The cabinet seams in good conditions but the paint is not so good, have a lot of scratches on it.
- the legs and the metal parts of the outside seem to have some rust.
- chrome trim is also in bad conditions.

The good:
- The machine is working 100%(switches, magnet, the DMD works, all the boards appear clean and to have not been damaged by any water).
- No major broken plastics i guess.
- The playfield have a LOOTT of dirty on it, but i think he is very good, lets see... is going to be a surprise even for me.

If i have time, my plan is to work on it every day, about 1/2 hours.

And now the BEST part the PICS

Let me know what are your opinions about this one..

Another questions,
What are the best modes for this machine?

Leds??
On Playfield GI on this particular case seems to work better with frosted whites, and match color on inserts. The plastics have a lot of colors on in, i think is the best way to pop the colors.

Can you guys share some pics of your Spider Man examples.

Thanks

Thanks, that looks very good..
Im still deciding witch way to go... opinions!? Left or Right?

Just a few tests before i clean the machine, that way while the items arrive i have time to clean the maquine...

Day 2,
Almost all the playfield stripped... and a "first" clean...
Next step clean all the screws, i find that if i put them inside vinegar for a couple of hours they stay pretty well... Any alternatives for this!?

Hummm a tumbler...
Right now i dont have it, but is on my wishlist for sure...

I was looking for some "home use" alternatives
baking soda?
vinegar?

Maybe both
