That is one great looking pin. Very impressive,

I have been working on a 1972 Bally Space Time. Getting close to finish. Just need to let the top of the playfield cure a bit long before populating.

Here are a few pictures.

Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.

It has been a lot of work. Nothing worked when I got it and there was lots of rust. More time spend de-rusting and polishing metal than I care to remember. Also, the playfield is a complete repaint. The original playfield paint was too far gone for touch up.

Yes I clear coated the playfield myself. I couldn’t find anyone within 50 miles willing to do it. I used 2 part auto clear (2PAC). Was my first experience using 2PAC. I did a few test run/practicing before I cleared the playfield. I happy with the outcome.

Thank you for your comment. That is an interesting idea I had not thought of. I will have to look into that.

I retire a couple of years ago and working on pins fills up my abundant free time. I also got to learn new skills which, I enjoyed. I am one of those that gets as much pleasure from working on them as playing.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for your comments. I got my impression from other Pinsiders posts and restorations. I got a little carried away and ended taking everything completely apart. Might skip that next time.

Instruction labels were largely reproduced from file available on Inkochnito’s Pinball Cards web page http://www.pinballrebel.com/pinball/cards/ His page is hosted by Pinball Rebel. He doesn’t charge for using the files but, does ask for a donation if you like his work. I did send him some money. A couple I had to reproduce on my own. I did this in Word.

For the coil labels, I used a green craft paper that sort makes the originals. The original were very dirty so matching 100% was not in my wheel house. The originals appeared to have a shine to them so, I cover the craft paper with clear packing tapes and then trimmed to size.

For also other labels, I purchased some card stock that was off white.

Those I had to remake. I do not have to capability of print long strips so, I had to staple shorter strips together. I am sure I have those files somewhere if you need a copy.

I pretty much had to disassemble everything as very little worked. It was kind of a mess.

I used this font “Calibrate” for the relay long strips. This is looked pretty darn close to my eye. It was the best of the fonts I had available. When holding them next to each they are hard to tell apart.
