Quoted from leckmeck:It started out nice. No rust and only light scratches. I gave all the parts an Evaporust bath, then polished them up with Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish. Lastly, the etched Gottlieb logo got filled with acrylic paint. These doors came from the factory that way. It’s a nice detail that stands out.
I have a number of coin doors I’d like to get looking somewhere close as good as yours. How much do you disassemble the parts before the Evaporust bath? Can the whole unit be submerged or does it need to be taken apart? Wondering about the switches and such.
