    Just finished phase 1 of a Can Can Bingo Magic screen restore. Playfield and back glass are very good. Its the head next to refurbish, I call it "stinker". I am so annoyed after replating the foot rail tiny 'nail special washers' and polishing them I dropped one never to be found. To small for both me and my wife's eyes.

    I love this game.

    Thanks Nick, the cab had splits but came together and was fun to paint except air brushing acrylic paint on top of similar paint is less than perfect as the film stencil edges seep. Possibly I need to wait longer between different colors.

    The inside was filthy and corroded. I was able to put most small parts in tumbler for 48 hour cycles and they shine up well. Evapo-rust for legs and other badly rusted bits works like a charm. I zinc coated some parts and have them a shine up where necessary too. I buffed a bunch but it was harder than I thought but got fair results, important to clear coat after to keep shine on some bits.

    The head I am unsure how to exactly tackle but I will start and taking many picture and we will see.

    From you Vic that's a compliment indeed.

    Thank you
