Rob1966 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 I just used a center punch to flare them out a bit being careful not to hit it to hard then finished them off with a flat punch till they were tight and couldn’t turn anymore Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
femto Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I would also like to give the painted area under the pop bumpers a bit of a touch up but I’m not sure how to go about it any ideas fellas? I have heard of specially made stick on coloured Mylar rings has anyone tried these ? When I touched up my playfield of my Card Whiz, I purchased some watercolour paints that were very close and just watered them down and painted the whole area under the bumper. Came up real nice. Then I put a clear protector under the bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried it again it worked must have just been my iPad playing up, the red ones will work great I think that this may be the way to go just have to work out an alternative for the one blue one that I need to do.

Rob1966 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Bit more progress today a little bit of a start on the mechanicals this time, first off in my PBR order I got a spring kit for the step unit as I had to replace the missing clacker unit spring anyway so I thought I might as well replace them all. https://i.imgur.com/OZZ6v8v.jpg So springs all replaced with new ones now and the new clacker bell is in place and there was about 3 wires broken that I had to trace back and re join and re-solder. https://i.imgur.com/PYcK0jr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/oF0rfup.jpg Another thing that I wanted to do right and make reliable was the pop bumpers, so ordered three pop bumper re-build kits and new coils to install as well. https://i.imgur.com/ikCCM0P.jpg https://i.imgur.com/W03TXUO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aqiXWql.jpg One down and re-built two to go https://i.imgur.com/Lbd0c65.jpg Ok all three done and another job crossed off the list. https://i.imgur.com/xSe9sUX.jpg I don’t know about anyone else but I can only handle small sessions on these things otherwise I find they start giving me the shits.

Simplest way would be to save your artwork (assuming it's just line art...no pics) as a TIFF file. Tiff files are "non lossy" which means you can print them at any size with no loss of quality and no bit map images showing up. This is only for line art though. Pic files need to be scanned at the correct size and printed at 100%. Hope this helps in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sade_Rock Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Will try a bit more tonight when I get some free time the printer properties get a bit confusing sometimes though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Rob, DPI has no bearing on sizing. DPI is how many dots per square inch the printer is going to output. The higher the DPI the sharper the image. You say in a previous post that you are outputting the image at the size of a 50 cent piece which is 30mm from edge to edge. A typical pop bumper would be around 60 to 75mm. Lets say it's 75mm for this example. Do some simple math: 75mm divided by 30mm = 2.5. Times the 2.5 x 100 and you'll have 250. 250 is the percentage you will need to set your printer to print the logo. Set the dpi to the highest setting for a sharp output. You'll find all these setting at your print output settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
