Tonight I’m going to officially start ‘restoring’ a project Pharaoh I picked up off Craig’s List last year. I had all the boards redone by a local tech pro, so it’s playing perfectly now. I’ll start the process of cleaning, re-rubbering, LED conversion, etc tonight.

Question has to do with the backglass. Unfortunately, about half the paint from the original backglass is missing, so I bought the alternate translite off eBay. I’ll need to strip the remaining paint off the glass and will lay the new translite over the soon to be clear glass. Any suggestions on the best way to get the paint off? Some chemical to start and then a razor blade to carefully scrape away perhaps? I’ve used turpentine to remove paint off wood, but is there a glass equivalent someone here could suggest?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Any idea how this rubber can be removed? It seems like a solid piece of metal and I can’t figure out how it was put on originally. The hole is so much smaller than the shaft.

That’s what she said...

I can’t seem to fit a new one on. The hole is way too small.

Ugh. That’s what she said!!
