I am calling out for advice from my fellow Pinsiders.
I just bought a project White Water machine. I am an owner for less than a year with no previous experience restoring pinball machines, but an appetite to learn a lot. My plan is to make this one look and play good, but not a high end one.
there is a quite a few raised inserts where 'insert decals' are chipped (Due to coloured art I guess that it is silkscreened and clear coted) as illustrated on pictures. From what I read it makes the job a lot more difficult that there is coloured artwork. My Question is this:
1) First step must be levelling inserts and superglueing them from the back!?
2) Then what does 'Pinside' recommend:
A) Leave it and or install playfield protector?
B) Remove chipped decals and add new ones (If so, which ones)?
C) Repair what's left of decals with touch up paintjob and 2PAC as described by VID?
D) or...?
Any help is deeply appreciated, thank you.
