It is coming up really nice considering the condition it was in at the start

Yeah.

Seeing the results is finally starting to look great.

Next is to make play great and see if it boots up. As it was non working when I got it.

 

If I owned it, I would have clear coated the playfield. But that’s another major expense that won’t be done here.

I'm looking forward to the Cleopatra restore. :049:

 

First one is just swapped everything over to make the best out of 2, then get up running.

 

It’s actually almost done.

 

2nd one will need new parts and maybe a pf clear coat. And new boards.

A classic example of a rubbish idea.

 

These things started bending virtually as soon as someone "that wasn't trained exactly how to use them", tried to lift a playfield.

 

I'd hate to think how much time I spent straightening these things on site.

 

Such a shit idea and anyone doubting how bad, without instructing a person ask them to lift up the playfield and just watch how much damage they can do and how quickly.

 

If your lucky they will just stretch the springs. If you are unlucky they will bend them to the point they scratch the shit out of the inside of the cabinet when they bend, not hook on the pivot bolts and again if your lucky jam the playfield in the vertical position or if your unlucky, neither hook will catch and the playfield will drop vertically straight down onto the bottom of the cabinet.

 

I have seem everything that can possibly go wrong with these things believe me.

Yep.

And the pointy bits were at the back.

No springs.

But they were the least of the problems.

Nice work. I was worried till I saw the next picture with heat shrink on the cable repairs. ;)

 

Been laminating the operator's machines inner cab "matrix maps" and head "fuse data sheets" myself.

 

Being laminated allows for a quick wipe down in future but I also use drawing pins to hold them in place rather than staples so when they come back here for repairs, I can easily pull the drawing pins out and read them as a piece of paper in my hand rather than having to lift up or pull playfields out of the way to read them.

 

Easy to replace by lining up the drawing pin holes and reinserting the drawing pins.

 

Also looks pretty sharp.:)
