Quoted from Lovef2k:

Anyway, thanks for posting the molotow colors. Ebd is a tough one to match. I have restored 3 of them and have another 3 in cue. The cream actually has a green hue which makes it difficult. The gold is easier. Virtually impossible to find in rattle cans. The first 2 games I used oil based paint and air sprayed. Messy clean up and generally 6 month curing time for oil before laying a clear coat. Third one was lacquer and found its a big no no for stencils. Ended up taking to an auto body shop and had a pro paint it for me I just laid the stencils for him. Price was $600 in.

So back to that playfield...lets start by doing all the tnuts and all brand new sockets and from there start to wire them in. If you aren't aware the sockets on these old games suck. If you want to save a lot of headaches later just replace them now. [quoted image]
Ice cream break. The few weeks Alyssa was able to join me this summer we spent driving around southern Michigan looking for ice cream joints. Our favorite ended up being The Hayloft in Decatur, MI. [quoted image]
More wiring. [quoted image]
Incoming Facebook message. Time travel with me back to January. A person posts an image in a pinball group asking about some games he has found in a storage unit. He wants to know some info about them and their potential value. It happened to be a game I've been keeping an eye out for, but regardless I just give them the likely value, and a few recent for sale threads for the title. And jump with me back to June. I get that Facebook message. It's the same guy. He says hey I realize I'm never going to get this game working, I know you said it was one you were interested in, and you were one of the only people to give me the real value and information about it without just trying to buy it or lowball me, so would you be interested in purchasing it. Of course I'm an addict so I said yes, and this is why I now have this game sitting in my garage (because storage unit is out of space) and waiting for restoration. [quoted image][quoted image]
Not only do I get a game I've been wanting, but it has the sweet early production blue cabinet. My CPR playfield actually just got delivered. This is the second playfield I have bought for Cheetah because I originally planned to build one from scratch. However after that playfield arrived I discovered that emsrph who was in the middle of the process didn't secure a new playfield from CPR so I agreed to sell him mine at cost. His thread is full of awesome info if you haven't seen it check it out. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/building-a-cheetah/page/2#post-6323870
Anyway, this Cheetah is on the slate for a fall restoration. I think I'm just going to do the playfield on it because the cabinet isn't that bad, and I love the original blue factor. Not that I couldn't just repaint in those colors, but I think the original uniqueness of that one should be saved.
And back home we go. Daphne is always exhausted after being at the lake because there are several other dogs up there she plays with. What kind of dog gets silk pillows and fleece blankets, straight up spoiled! [quoted image][quoted image]

Surprisingly, rustoleum makes some good matches for the mustard and white.
