Working on 1950's Bally shuffle bowler. Pretty discouraged with the condition of the score box. One mechanism before and after 12 hours in Evapo Rust, and I now have a little hope! Only 27 more to go.

Quoted from PM_Jeremy:

WOW! Nice going on a tough project - "worked when put into storage"
Will you be doing any additional work to protect the metal after removing the rust?

Good question! What is the recommended product of choice to protect the metal? Thanks Mike

Quoted from dasvis:

I'm wondering if you should send those all out to be plated once they are evaporusted clean

That sounds expensive! I'm thinking a coat of paint or clear.

Quoted from Dono:

That's really in poor condition, kudos for you to bring it back from the dead; a TON of work for sure, good luck!

Update on the Bally Mystic shuffle bowler. After cleaning every mech in the score box in evap o rust last winter, I didn’t do much over the spring and summer. I was kind of afraid to plug it in to be honest. I finally got back to it. I put a new cord on it and let it rip. All score wheels reset as did the frame counter and the player counter. I still have lots to sort out, but it’s looking much more promising now!

Quoted from Playdium:

I see 19 steppers in the photo. What was your estimate on labor for these? Amazing job by the way!!!

Actually there are 28 steppers in the back alone. I could soak 3 or 4 at a time. 2 days in evapo rust, 1 day drying, 1 day for paint to dry, lots of hours reassembling each one. My estimate... it was a time consuming task!

Quoted from kimbleseven:

25v 15amp fuse: correct me if wrong but i think you can put any 15amp fuse with a higher rated voltage.

You are correct. Fuses open on amps. 15 amps is 15 amps. The voltage is a rating how much voltage the the fuse can withstand and still open without arcing across. Use a 15 amp with a higher voltage, and rest easy.

Just wrapping up working on this Gottlieb Sky Jump. New drop targets, rubbers, lights, legs and levelers. A lot of cleaning. Turned out pretty nice. Fun game. PF is about a 6, same for BG. It’s moving on to a friend to play and enjoy.

Starting on this little gem! Interesting spin pulses on the main board.

Quoted from pinwiztom:

What logo is on the face of the spinner used on the pulse unit?

It appears to be blank with no logo.
