Looks great. I worked summers in High School and College in an arcade at the beach, Brings back great memories.
It's certainly a nice one :) I never worked at the arcade but I went a lot, lol.
Excellent job retouching and it's more than just getting there. Right on Ron! I've been seeing this machine in the background waiting to be fixed in so many videos. I was anxiously waiting for you to get the time/opportunity to do it. Mission accomplished!
Glad you enjoyed it man it turned out pretty good we thought! Such a fun game too :)
You knocked this one out of the park. Take a bow. Thank-You for sharing.
Thanks James, we appreciate you hanging out with us!
Get that stuff off the machine next to it lol. You are a master of your craft. I haven't taken a play field down like that in 40 years and only to clean them.
This was all filmed before we fixed the Masquerade, don't worry :) We're sitting here admiring it and aren't letting anything get on the glass, haha.
Joe's Classic Video Games I was just kidding. Did you make any videos of it when it was getting fixed?
What an awesome looking pinball machine! My first memory of playing pinball was a Williams Doodle Bug lol.
Doodle Bug, I gotta get one of those in :)
Great work on the touch up. Excellent artistic skills.
It was o.k., I wasn't completely happy with a few parts of it but all in all I think it came out alright. Thanks for watching Mark!
This machine was so much fun ! Played all the time as a kid at my 711 ….. and now much older own one now ….. just needs some help repair work .
Another quality game and quality repair/repaint from the guys at Lyons arcade !! thank you guys !! :) x
Thank you Saskia for watching, we appreciate it :)
i really enjoyed watching you put the playfield back together, the paint came out great!
Thanks tattmanndann it took a long time, if you watch close there's several edits I think this was about 3 days work off and on....
That looks real good and you did and great job on the touch up
Thanks gulp0000 we appreciate it!
Really enjoying your videos, back in about 1971 my parents bought me a Williams 3D pinball machine, came out of a closed down dance hall, the top glass was smashed, no balls, 3/4 of the lights were blown, lots of the contacts were not making contact, but i spent hours getting to going and fixed just about everything it needed to play it, i noticed an arcade repairman would stay at the hotel across the street when he was in town, so i tracked him down and bought 5 balls, myself and every kid around played the hell out if that machine, it cost a nickel to play, the playing field looked almost new, back glass was about perfect, i sold the machine for $100 in about 76 to buy parts for my car, should of had my a$$ kicked.
A true artist! Great Spidey!
Thanks Gary we appreciate the kind words! I'm trying to figure out who the real artist was that did the playfield drawings...
Looks amazing; think you are underselling your colour matching... is so effective :-)
You gotta under promise and over deliver :)
Oh sweet. I'm going to try and replace these bridge rectifiers soon. 🤞🤞 Looking forward to seeing that backglass.
Coming Soon :)
Looks Great! Wish you were here to do my Royal Guard pinball.
Bring it on by we'll work on it :)
Great job on a great machine
Thanks Jumping Jack!
Wow, you went wild with the speed up music today. It fit well.
We got some new songs :)
Looking great Ron. I like the funky playfield rebuild fast motion segment. Gotta say your brother Donnie puts me in mind of a modern day Breckenridge Elkins. And yep, I subbed his channel too.
Breckenridge was stupid though, Donnie's highly intelligent, you just have to be pretty smart to notice it :) Thanks for watching Angus, we appreciate it!
@@LyonsArcade I thought Brekenridge was pretty smart in his own way. No one got away from trying to get one over on him. No disrepect intended for Donnie.
Hi Joe, you can print those words on clear decal paper and then apply them to the playfield and clear coat over top of them. You can do the same over any inserts that have print on them.
Very bueno! Can't wait to see it with the backglass on!
Coming Soon :)
Cool! Tuesday fix of fixing! 😎
We like to fix!
Awesome video again f#### love it! keep them coming!!!!
Thanks Arcade Crusaders! We appreciate it....
The machine looks awesome! I'll hopefully get a chance to get a pinball machine at some point. Awesome job with the vid 👍
Thanks Jason, save up your cash and you'll find one you like near you one day!
Glad to finally see the videos on this machine!! You're doing a great job with it! I personally enjoy working on the Gottliebs.
They're definitely my favorites :)
The touch up turned out good. Did you clear coat it afterwards? Cuz Spidey's foot doesn't seem to be reflecting right.
Yes I clearcoated it, if his foot is messed up I'll have to do it over again, thanks for pointing it out, let me grab my sandpaper....
It's not reflecting or something. I mean if I noticed it through a UA-cam video, then it's gotta be noticeable from your end.
Joe's Classic Video Games get that down to bare wood and try again.
Stan Lee's ghost approves, saving another wide body from the trash heap, very cool.
Man when I think of all the ones they threw away holy crap.
Love this. Making me want more even more. Keep them coming lol
More coming soon :)
"The crocodile looking guy" is The Lizard! :)
You made me chuckle with the paint colour. "I cant say raspberry razzle"
You then repeated it more than anything youve said in any of your videos ever, haha :p
Great video though, and awesome table, its looking awesome!
I think it's getting there for sure :) Raspberry razzle dazzle.....
Dude! Awesome machine, I want it. 😁
It ain't nothing yet :)
I have found a brother from another mother! I do THE SAME THING when ordering that ridiculously-named IHOP item. Same for the "Moons Over My Hammy" (shudder) at Denny's.
I knew I wasn't the only one, LOL. There's an old "All in the Family" episode where Gloria's pregnant, and she says something like "I'm Knocked Up" and Archie almost has a heart attack, LOL. He says something like "Can't you say... I'm with child????" hahaha
On repainting the playboards I think you are underestimating yourself. You do an very good job doing it. I've also noticed they put a little ™ near every
Oh I think I do a great job, I just can't say that out loud because there's so many jerks on youtube. It'll be your and my little secret :)
Razzle was a gentleman’s magazine in the UK if that helps.
Still regularly referenced in 'Viz' magazine as the reading material of choice of some of their characters.
Used to find them in the woods as a kid, funny thing was the pages were always stuck together, too much ink used at the printers I think🤔
The Queen & toy collector for a long time I thought that musty was the natural smell of those sort of magazines 🤫
What's with the English having weird names for everything, LOL
@@LyonsArcade its because we can lol.
Another machine that lives to play another day.
Yup, or as Weird Al would say, Another One Rides The Bus
You just got to line up those flippers!!
You just watched an hour long video and instead of contributing something positive, you decided to complain about something you saw.
Would love to see u restore a 1990s pinball
We will soon we have a bunch of them here we’re just doing a lot of our older ones first. By the way we did 10 videos in repairing a Nightmare on Elm Street pinball machine a couple years ago...
@@LyonsArcade im going to go start watching that now thanks for the heads up keep the grate work up
Another great video! Really enjoy the way you explain thoroughly how you fix the issues on your pinball games.
Next paint touch up I wish you would show the process of clear coating the areas.
How much area do you cover - how light or heavy the spray - do you tape off the area?
I'm not very good at it, so I don't want to film myself spray painting, I literally just squirt some clear coat on it and don't tape off anything. If I filmed that, I would get hundreds of people telling me that I'm doing it wrong and frankly I'm just tired of all of the static so I will not be filming myself spray painting anything.
Awesome follow up. Is the restoration scene all about being true to factory OEM or have you done or seen "Restomods" Restorations with modern appointments ?
I don't really consider them restorations, if you read through the comments most other people don't either, LOL I usually prefer to make them as factory as possible but it doesn't really effect the value either way.
An old relative of mine had a saying “a blind man would be happy to see it” if he did a half arse job of something. That’s not appropriate for your good work - nicely done.
Thanks David, we appreciate you watching!
One of the nicest pin play fields out there IMHO. Love Spidey and the art is true to the comics. Do you clear coat after touching up the field?
Yes we always clear coat it . if you don't clear coat it the acrylic paint will wash off or wear off immediately.... it definitely needs it....
@@LyonsArcade I learned this the hard way. As I have an Black Knight. Spent about an hour and a half touching up (my first machine and first attempt ever) only to wax it a week later and see my work vanish! What would you suggest to use as a clear coat?
It looks like the wear on the play field around the inserts is caused because the inserts "sink into" the play field just a little bit. Is that right? Do they come out of the factory that way or does it just happen because of time? Are they adjustable? Do you ever adjust them? I love your videos.
the way they were made originally was, the piece of high quality plywood has holes drilled in it, then they fit inserts in the holes, and then sand the playfield flat. Then the artwork is silkscreened on top of the plywood and the inserts in it... over time, the inserts shrink slightly because they're made out of plastic, which makes them move a little bit, most of them sink slightly as the center of the insert cups slightly. I never fix them, it can be done but it's fairly complex.
You can replace them, but then you lose all the artwork silkscreened on them, which is usually a circle around the edge... and it's a bit pain, plus the new ones are too big, they have to be sanded down flat to fit which was originally done with no artwork on the playfield....
You can also try to level them with super glue, if you very carefully drip superglue on the insert it will pool up and dry clear, but you have to be very precise and do it all in kind of one shot or you end up with a bump on the insert...
You can also spray like automotive clear coat over the whole stripped playfield, then sand it down more flat, then spray another coat, etc. until you get it nice and flat.
All of the ways of doing it are super time consuming though and take a lot of skill so typically I just spot clear over the areas I repaint and put a lot of wax on it, the ball will have to wear through the wax or the clear before it starts chipping the paint again....
Great video. Is there a quick way you've found to protect the new paint from wearing off besides doing a time consuming full clearcoat on the entire playfield? Would a localized clearcoat on just the newly painted areas stand out too much? Thanks.
Yes we just spray the area we've repainted, use Satin and nobody will be able to tell. The issue though is if the area has any wax on it the clear will bubble up. You have to be completely clean.
@@LyonsArcade Ok, nice. What satin spray product do you use/recommend? Thanks.
That spider-man insert below the 20,000 near his foot needs a red bulb! AND you need to stop knocking your artistic abilities this was great touch-up work!
Great video! i have a friend who has owned one of these for 20+ years and has never played it. I am gonna look at those rectifiers for him!
O.K. I'll put a red bulb in thank you for pointing that out
Well Ron, never took you for a Razzle Berry kinda dude :D
Eh, the times they are a changin'
I need a place to buy boards for my Spider-Man 1980 ? Any help would be great
look awesome when u got done with painting it "normally dont see dot because not sticking head on glass zooming in"
great jobs "be waiting for for last face plate"
It's coming today :)
Spiderman, a nice person as he is, has far too many enemies. What did he do to all those people ?
They're dirty rotten evil doers, they just hate on Spidey because he's such a nice person.
Good job on the playfield, particularly given how much more ... I suppose "intricate" isn't quite the right word, perhaps a better descriptor would be "busy"? Yeah, let's go with that ... given how much more _busy_ the comic playfield art is here, all loaded up with action lines and ziptone stipples.
The busier it is the easier it is to fix, because your eye doesn't focus on one thing... if there's a large area with all one color, if you paint just a little bit it stands out like a sore thumb :)
So i am curious is each playfield originally painted by hand?
No they're originally silk screened , people just paint them by hand to fix the wear on them.
Do you clear coat playfields after you paint them?
Yayyyyyyyyy..... The top right display has cured itself and is now nice 'n' bright.
Seem to remember you saying something about displays doing this in the past.
Can you flash them with voltage like CRT's to get them brighter?
Yes, you can (as long as you don't overdo it... too much voltage will fry them), but in this case they didn't have to. As Ron says, sometimes all you have to do is leave them running for a while and the issue fixes itself.
We might have to still zap it, at some angles it looks as bright as others it doesn't....
@@LyonsArcade Yeah, that was more noticeable on today's video (the backglass replacement).
Used the link and went to my wishlist to purchase items. Hopefully that works towards your account.
Thanks BluePlanetMedia we appreciate you doing that! See you on the next video...
YAY! Spiderman!
He's the man! The Spiderman!
Great video brother!
I'm... I'm a dude lol! 😂
I think I might change my ID to
Razzle Berry🤣🤣🤣😝
I feel like a traitor when I go in the arts and crafts store lol
@@LyonsArcade Lol! 🤣🤣
A little board called a reset board helped with my lock up problems on circus
They originally had those but I'm not sure if you can put one on that replacement board that's in this machine...
Im not sure either. Thanks for the reply. Would believe there is a guy that programmed it to say call outs n added more sounds. Seeing it on u tube i was totally shocked it played Gottlieb being a finicky design early systems boards
If only that paint at the boot was accommodating to the light shining through the playfield, it wouldn't stand out so much (really noticeable at 23:00). It's tough with how paint is printed on the glass.
I better re-do it, where's my sandpaper?
I am interested in more info for the ground mods
You put a ground wire on the ground plane of each board, and connect them all to the same point in the backbox so they don't have different ground levels.... www.PinRepair.com
I remastered this playfield as a vector graphic.
very cool!
31:45....pinball porn music? :)
I think the playfield looks great Ron. The flipper height "mismatch" would trigger my OCD though...I'd lower the left one so the two were even, even if it mean the ball path isn't 100% straight. Just my $0.02.
OCD means Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It's not my prerogative to cater to your mental disability.
@@LyonsArcade Wow that wasn't nice Ron.
@@LyonsArcade I bet when you sold it the first thing the buyer noticed wasn't your awesome paint job or the spiffy new backglass, but the fact that the flippers were out of level. :)
@@HuntersMoon78 I've been watching Ron long enough to think there wasn't any malice in his response. And I don't really have OCD, I just think the flippers would look better if they were even.
Fellas, is it gay to say "Razzle Berry"?
P.S. Excellent work on the paint job.
Thanks Mr. Tom FTW :)
It's Aunt May.
Thanks, that's the one!
Aunt May
In front of her is j. Jonas Jameson
J. Jonas Jameson, I forgot that one :)
Sneaky 4th position
you can't say "Razzle Berry" but you can say "smidgen"???
Smidgen is very manly.
The only problem with the glass is it needs some cola and whiskey . Keep them vids comming 👍
Thanks Demofilmpuntnl we appreciate you watching :)
