@batterymaker well, she told me I could have just ONE pinball... of course I then bought a mini pinball (pachinko sized, but deeper) that I fixed up the mechanicals for this week, too. called a euromat. should have some video up next week. how you been? haven't seen you around pachitalk recently.
Yes. It is very worn out. Any ideas on how to restore? I wondered about printing a Mylar overlay of the bad area? Hand painting would probably look bad (at least mine would).
Hello Elaine! Thank you for the youtube post. I just bought the same pinball machine. I am new to working on these machines. I bought the EM course on ebay. That was a tremendous help. I am curious how your machine turned out. I would love to chat with you about it over email or messenger. My San Fran was DOA, I mean nothing is working and the back glass is horrible too. Well, I have it apart and started on it. I also have restored a 1953 Bally Variety bingo pinball. I thought having a flipper machine would be cool for my grandkids. I am a retired Warrant Officer and worked on electronics in the Army. The machines are a challenge for sure. I know this post is old but just wanted to thank you for the post! Have a nice day, John.mansfield99@gmail.com
Thanks for sharing!
Looks good just a bit nervous about the playfield wear that is down to the wood.
Did you ever get that fixed up?
