I'm working on a Gottlieb King of Diamonds and my Lockdown Moulding Slide (the part that the lockdown bar latches to) is pretty trashed. Even after scrubbing and Evaporust this is the best it gets. Looking for a used replacement. Doesn't have to be perfect, just better than this sad guy. Thanks.
Gottlieb_lockdown_slide_1 (resized).jpgGottlieb_lockdown_slide_2 (resized).jpgQuoted from Murphdom:Did you try sanding it with a flap wheel? That gets a lot of stuff off and then just regrain it.
Quoted from jrpinball:That's AFTER Evaporust? I get better results using CLR. Give that a try.
Yes, that's after soaking in Evaporust for 24 hours and vigorously scrubbing with scotchbrite pads. The part was originally plated but the plating is coming off in big flakes and it looks like crap. At least it functions fine though. If I can't find a better used one, I'm tempted to bead blast it down to bare metal and paint it (probably a cream color that would be close to the cabinet color). The cabinet is nowhere near mint and really shows its time in the arcade so spending a bunch of $$ on plating isn't justified.
Quoted from sixleggeddog:It's really rough, I can get it stable where it won't fall apart, but not sure I can get it looking decent. See the picture below, there's a giant chunk missing from the far side that's a little hard to see in the picture as well. If anyone has repaired a cabinet looking like this though, and has any advice - I'm all ears!
Thanks for the heads up, might hit him up![quoted image]
Wow, I thought that my King of Diamonds cabinet was a bit rough but after seeing yours, it looks like a HEP restoration by comparison. I think a donor cabinet is your best bet here.
