1955 Williams King of swat now has legs


Recommended Posts

With the help of a guy from the US with a 1955 Williams pinball machine he sent me a tracing of the legs and all the needed measurements to reproduce the missing legs .

 

I hate wood so it took some working upto but with all the info photos tracings and measurements I took the plunge cut out my first leg only to find that my pitch and bat must have different legs than a 1955 Williams pinball.

 

Slightly different bolt spacing and more meaty surface area that bolts to the cab so with the measurement I had slightly modified to suit my cabinet would get the apron sitting similar height to my 1955 Gottlieb marathon to I ditched the stuffed leg and started making mk2

 

This is from the supplied measurements

This is with the extra legs added to the cutout but the original holes

The legs still need to be finish sanded and varnished but decided I'd wait and do that at the same time I repaint the cab but it's on legs for the first time in a bloody long time can't wait to rip into the restore

Well I had another me day today and worked on my own stuff. Originally started as just retrieving the ball that went missing but while I had the running man unit out I decided I'd have a go at cleaning it up.

Then while that was out decided to clean and adjust all the relays you know how it goes.

 

So now it fully working playable and just need the cabinet respray rd and the Playfield restored

I'm so grateful there are people like you in this world bringing this living art back to life. Thank you.

 

That’s good I have more fun restoring than playing any of my machines

That cabinet art is pretty detailed, how do you plan to recreate it?
