    I love all the art on the old machines, and this clean up really brought out how good this machine looks. I love old pinball machines, when I was little that's all there were, video games were a few years away. I had a friend who restored a few old machines, including a "strato flight" and a baseball , the kind with the bat and field. I just saw a restored one like it for sale for quite a lot. Nice work there and thanks for the videos!

    I noticed the o-ring posts on the play field are metal, not like the plastic ones used in more modern pinball machines. This and the state of the play-field imply to me that tables in the mid sixties had a better level of quality than those made in the seventies and eighties.

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  4 роки тому +3

      They had a different level of quality, definitely. It's not necessarily that everything was made worse as time went on, for instance the metal posts look great but the plastic ones can be colored and translucent so they glow when the lights shine through them, etc. So in some ways the metal ones are better in other ways the plastic ones are better.... The finish on the playfields does seem to be more resilient on the older ones but part of that is because the ball moved slower on the old ones, and some of it may be the composition of the paints, there may even be legal environmental regulations that took certain chemicals out of the paints, etc.

    While I suspect the automotive people could recommend a way to strip the clear coat off without damaging the paint underneath, it's not worth the trouble.
    The artwork on the back glass and over the pop bumpers is darker than the play field anyway, so it could look weird.

    Ron you got any advice on repairing through-plated connectors? I'm working on a SegaCD from 93 and when replacing the caps a few of the connectors came out. It runs and drives but the CD drive doesn't read, I think the end of stroke switch logic ain't connecting.
    I heard you can make a bead on top and run a length of wire through to fill the hole, but wanted to ask for your opinion real quick, you've got way more experience with this type of stuff than I do.

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  4 роки тому +1

      The lucky thing you've got is that it's inside a case so no matter how ugly it looks all that matters is it works... Yeah I use little thin wire to run down through the hole, or sometimes you can use a capacitor leg. If it's the hole that a capacitor is actually in, you may have to 'high water' the cap, make it stick up off the board so you can solder the top of the board under the cap and run a trace to wherever you need to go....

    As i figured! When you talked about to clearcoat the playfield, (and as i understand) That is´nt the best way to do if you´re gonna store it in a not airconditioned environment. Is it better to NOT put clearcoat on when a recondition is done if you dont have the ability to store it that way? And what will happen to it without the clearcoat protection if it has been left there to long. Let´s say 15 years or so?

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  4 роки тому +3

      You can clear coat it just fine if you want but it’s a lot of work to do properly. I didn’t clear this one because you can protect it with wax and we hadn’t done any painting that needs protected...
