Hey all, I'm just getting into pinball --finally at a point in my life where I can afford it.
I just bought an SBM and fear I may have made a mistake. Love the game, but its a lot rougher than I thought. After reading Vids playfield restoration tutorial I realized how bad it was...guess ignorance is bliss sometimes. I made a mistake I will NEVER make again and bought it site unseen... the guy said it was clean...hahaha!
Anyway trying to assess where I'm at and what / how much to do. Any input us appreciated.
All inserts are cupped. A lot of checking. Most paint is intact but dirty...and I fear clear coated over. There is also a bunch of clear protectant all over the place-- some curling. Thinner than mylar...not sure what it is.
I have a new set of plastics and new BG. Have LEDs and it has new blue led score panels. The cabinet is just ok, but I'm confident I can do that part. As for funtionality-- all seems to work well.
Soo... any bright ideas on where to start / how.much to do?
If anyone wants other /specific pics, let me know
Thanks in advance!!
