Almost all parts are removed from the upper side. The lamp wiring and the lamp sockets are still in place.
The playfield needs only minor touchups (green circles).
Next, I will clean the playfield and remove the mylar around the bumpers.
First I had tried the freeze spray method, but I hadn't have success. At last, I removed the mylar with a haird dryer.
After the first cleaning.
Scott Charles send me some of these little helpers...I must say, they are great...(And the best thing there are "made in germany", but I didn't found them here in europe..."
Here you see a part of the playfield after the first cleaning with alcohol.
Here you see the same part after "Magic Eraser". I used them with alcohol not with water.
Here some other great results...
Now the playfield looks realy nice...(this picture may take a little longer for loading)
Then I sand the entire playfield light with 600 sand paper.
The I used silicone remover (this is quite important otherwise the lacquer will not hold). Then I use a dust remover cloth.
I found a local colour store which filled 2 k laquer in a spray can. Here you see the (I think amazing) results...
The black color is from Duplicolor (paint stick for cars, color number 8-040). I didn't use a sharpie ink pen !.
Now I will start with the touchups.Here are some pictures:
Now, I will take the playfield to my garage for the final clearcout. They clearcoated it with the following product:
PPG (Deltron) D800 clearcoat.
Let us start...
First I want to mount the mylar rings around the bumpers.
Unfortunately the 30'000 insert falled out ! I didn't realise this before the final clearcoat..
I clean the insert and the hole with sandpaper.
I glued the insert and repaint the insert boarder.
I will mount a larger piece of mylar over the bumper and insert.
Upper side almost finished...
Someone "installed" bally flipperfingers with a large gripper I think...
No way to remove the flipper fingers without any damage...
Ready to move...
All parts on my good old cardboard...
Now we have to screw a lot...
Half of the job is done...
This time I cleaned every insert and every bulb...
Outhole assembly done...
Everything ready...
