    Hi -

    Can someone tell me for certain what wood was used on the Gottlieb/Williams woodrail games of the 1950s? Was the same wood used for the legs on games with wood legs? I need to get some wood filler to repair and refinish several damaged legs and rails and I'm not sure of the wood species.

    Thanks.

    Do you know or have a sense of what finish originally was used on the wood? Was it lacquer, varnish, poly, shellac, or something else? Do you have a favorite brand of finish? I'd like to be as original as possible.

    Thanks for all information.

    Loved the video - many thanks. I'll pick up Old Pinball #1 as well. This forum is a force multiplier, just a huge assist.
