A very worthy and sensitive restoration
Thanks mrButtonPresser we thought it came out pretty good!
Very nice! Love looking at these pinball restoration videos
Hahaha !!!! I found the same thing on a Rack A Ball and Central Park I picked up, There were house light switches screwed to the under left side of the backbox ! No housing just the switches !! I thoroughly enjoy all your videos !!! Thanks for doing these !!
Thanks John yeah people got creative lol
For being from 1966 its loooking really damn goo. I think you've done a really excellent job so far!
It’s getting there!
Nice restoration, the beauty is in the wear and originality of the old table.
We thought it looks pretty good, definitely!
It's interesting to see what kind of pinball games came out before licensed properties.
Indeed it is. A fair few were pretty lame, but there were a lot of really great themes too. Such a shame that that variety is lost to us with new machines.
Magic erasers make things pop! They're magic!
They do work very well, just don't go too far!
It all came up a treat ! looks fine....all the alcohol I buy comes with a magic eraser built in, I can never remember a thing...cheers!
That's a very classic looking machine. 👍
Looks fantastic!!!
Thanks X we appreciate you watching!
@@LyonsArcade You bet. Really enjoy watching the time lapse ASMR playfield polishing 😁 gets me excited to do the same thing to my Frankenstein machine. I'll be picking it up on my birthday in January. Cheers. 🤙
The third song.
That's it.
Love that drumming.
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!
Oldbmwr100rs we will have a video on some baseball machines coming up in about two weeks , see you then, and thanks for watching!
Man she cleaned up nicely 👍 picking up a chicago Hollywood EM this weekend may do this to it
I've got a Chicago Coin "Gold Record" and a "Rawhide" we're going to do videos on soon, I love the Chicago Coin stuff.
Very cool! Thanks!
I love then you get to see the night/day difference a simple cleaning will do to a machine. Nice work on this one.
Jeez at that light switch
🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Tease 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looking great! By the way, I think I've figured out the story on the playfield girl. Somebody spiked the punch and she's on her fifth cup.
Could be!
Looking good
Love it. Freeking awesome.
It's getting there!
@@LyonsArcade your as bad as me staying up late lol. Thanks much .
ohhh yeah! That's a huge improvement!
Great new time
Lapse format!
nad another one in the can!..... Keep up the good work! i'm still enjoying it greatly :D
"Hope you enjoyed it?" ALWAYS dude, you know it
Thanks Warik we appreciate it!
That looks fantastic. I admit, when I saw you starting part 1, I did not expect it to come together like this! I'll have more faith next time, I promise.
It's looking really nice Joe! Something like this must have been so cool back when it first came out!
+1 for the use of the Tripod -- this video was fantastic! If I'm ever up your way, I'll be sure to stop by!
Love the tunes 🥳
Lookin good !!! ;) x Thanks guys x
Thank you Saskia, did you get the house painted?
@@LyonsArcade had to hold back this week as they have kitchen fitters in,but going back next week to finish off :) x
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.
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.
Great Job, what a difference! I think I would have preferred to work on the wiring instead of stripping the field and do what you did. That blue almost looks purple.
We got it all looking pretty good, now we need to fix it!
Great job as always Ron ! 😉 May I ask what wax you are using ? Will be finishing up my first machine in a few weeks and need to go shopping.
Looking beautiful (the machine, that is! Don't want you getting all big-headed...). As much as I'd love to have your job, and watching you dismantle, clean and re-populate the playfield, I have a problem with screws being left-over (I have a laptop that's now held together with Gaffa Tape) - do you ever have any left over parts...? I bet you do..!! :D
It's a sad story that the masked beauty seemed to have lost one of her legs in the past. So she went to Dr. Joe :D
Hey Joe great video! What wax did you use? Would I be able to use my buffer to wax a playfeild?
Maybe but it might make a mess slinging that stuff around. I use carnuba car wax
@@LyonsArcade ok thank you I appreciate it :)
I have a Gottlieb Spirit of 76, that has some worn spots on the play field, how can touch up and cover the words spots? Thanks....Jim
Check out this video, we show how to do it : ua-cam.com/video/SxUepYCzutM/v-deo.html
24:08. And cue the 70s porno music. 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously, another great video!
Bow chicky bow wow! 😎
I like the aged, cleaned up look. Keep up the good work. Are the mechanicals all done? (in the video series to date).
They’re cleaned but it’s not working yet
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.
I wonder how much one of these things cost new (not that I'd have anywhere to put one).
I checked. It's insane!! Like $6K and up. At least from one manufacturer.
Im suprised they dont sell these for double what they price em at seeing all the work that goes into em
What wax you use ?
Sir, was that ever even played?
Thanks for showing all this, the mice really loved that wax string.
It has a little wear but it's pretty nice for this vintage. 54 years old!
I pulled the mylar off a Gottlieb's Bad Girls playfield that I'm cleaning up for wall art. How do I clean up the stickiness from where the mylar was? Anyway to get rid of bulb burn marks? Thanks!
Edit: What strength alcohol did you use?
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.
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....
@@LyonsArcade Haha I hear that. I'm not worried if it's frankensteined a little, nobody else is gonna see it but me :p
Thanks for the pointers man. I'll give it a shot and keep my fingers crossed. I won't be beat by some fancy cd player from 93!
Also, I appreciate all the great content. I've learned a lot from both channels, and being a former technician it's a hoot and a half to watch y'all wrenchin. With a little patience anything can be fixed
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?
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...
wax on wax off
Hi-ya!
Been using magic eraser with alcohol for years. Never had a problem
Then I follow it up with Novus 2 to polish
Then a coat of wax
I don’t see the link to amazon on my phone?
under the video there is a description and you have to hit the "more" button
How quick did that Pathand sell seems the moment u set em on the floor for sale they go out the door 😃
No doubt this one will be the same
We had it for about a week or so, yes Pinball machines are really hot right now. Unfortunately nobody works on them, which is one of the reasons I'm filming these videos. I'm hoping more people will fix their own!
Did ya use led bulbs in this one if so what size
I just used regular #47 bulbs, I'm not sure what size LED's work with that there's a bunch of different kinds. I personally like the old school bulbs better
Where are you located at? I would like to stop by sometime.
The rubber bands are supper dried out from age. I have not seen any bands that bad before.
20 or 30 years of time is the only way to get them that bad :)
Nice 70's Porn Music. Brings back memories of the 42nd Street Arcades
I have been using the Amazon Prime app, and I ordered 2 radar detectors and a bunch of other stuff this month, but I don't think it gives you credit when you use the app.
I just ordered Dreamstation air filters and I clicked your link then opened Firefox and ordered through the webpage.
I think this is the only way you get credit
If that is the case, let everyone know to not order through the app on the phone, to go to the website and order through that.
I see your dreamstation air filters on there definitely, so that worked, I don't know if the ap works or not I've heard people say it doesn't... . either way thank you for your support OCSRC!
@@LyonsArcade The app doesn't give you credit. You have to click the link then open Firefox and type in amazon.com and place the order that way, otherwise it does not work. It looks like it doesn't hold you link in memory, so you have to click the link every time before opening the webpage or it won't give you credit.
Let everyone know this. A lot of people use the app on the phone to place orders. Amazon should make a way to have a link for the app to work as well.
@@ocsrc Generally - Apps suck.
second ;)
You’re quick 😎
