Complete Baywatch

That’s really nice,
I thought about doing the inside blue on my Baywatch, and would have been a lot easier lol but I settled for black 😀
 
Another update
Earth braiding finished.
Transformer unwrapped after spraying and cables cleaned etc.
Shown with smaller 12v 5a transformer which will be wired to the main switch to provide clean power for some led mods and instruction card lights without affecting the machine wiring.
Transformer now installed.
All vents also installed.
Hoping to have the cabinet loom in tomorrow and up on legs for first time.
I installed the stern cabinet protectors and had to grind the rear ones down so they don’t overhang the bottom of the machine and potentially cause a problem if machine is transported or moved horizontally, which I tend to do when I collect machines.
Also showing the JBL 600w cabinet speaker which is going in and a quick shot of the playfield which is 60% completed

Last update before wedding 🎩 so have to concentrate on that lol
All the looms have been cleaned thoroughly,
Pcb plate painted, pcb’s cleaned and resoldered discoloured joints and removed manky flux residue.
Also removed all the glue that held the battery holder in place, NVRAM fitted.
Pcb’s refitted to backbox, 7 screws missing and ordered, wired up ready.
Look almost fitted to cabinet, just the mainswitch box and supply cables as I’m fitting a new main switch to the enclosure.
New speaker fitted and all cable clamps in place.
Finally up on legs for first time with all feet fully wound in and no rocking at all.
One happy bunny 🐰

Another update.
Looks like slow progress but had a few hurdles to get over and it’s done properly or not at all -
Main switch broke during removal so thanks to Vimtoman for helping source a new one, 3 in fact for £8 delivered from Amazon.
Cleaned and sprayed switch box, fitted new main switch and rewired and added a power cable connected to the switched live to power the new 12v 5a PSU which will power my lighting mods.
Fitted the new PSU, mains cable and socket hood, both flipper boards after resoldering some fuse sockets.
Cleaned the flipper board covers and fitted.
Fittted the flipper leaf switches and blue led flipper buttons which are powered by the new PSU.
Plugged machine transformer in and turned machine on to test machine transformer after painting and the 12v PSU, flipper button leds work.
Added a 2nd feed from 12v PSU which will be a cable going inside the trunking to the playfield to supply power to the trough led, shooter lane led, shark led, float led and the instruction card led plates, which means I can raise playfield without trailing cables or disconnecting anything.
Fitted missing pcb mounting screws to backbox.
Sprayed backbox speaker panel receiver channel (metal) and fitted.
Fitted backbox hinges and remaining hardware.
Fitted backbox to Cabinet with both halves of roto-lock cleaned and fitted.
Fitted new powder coated backbox hinges and bolts, new washers, sourced a new hinge bush which was missing from the machine.
Backbox now rock solid and no movement at all, as it used to rock back and forth.
It’s also straight !
Just a few bits to do and cabinet complete then on to finish the playfield

Playfield well under way, only a few major mechs to finish cleaning, new coil sleeves, flipper rebuild kits x 4 and leds being fitted.
Top side half playfield cleaned and fitting new clear posts, a selection of coloured post sleeves and rubbers to accentuate different areas which I have co-ordinated with selective led lighting.
A big shout to Collywobbles for coloured plastic protectors which will be fitted and shown soon

I think theres going to be plenty of Baywatch converts after this build. Top quality @Beowulfz07
 
Another update,
Underside of playfield 95% completed.
All LED’s now fitted.
Shark flip insert repaired, huge thanks to Mikonos for making the new decal.
All cleaning done and playfield Protector fitted.
One ramp on and finished, 3 more to go !
Slingshots and out lanes done including coloured protectors and clear washers.
Made a plastic bracket which replaces one of the spacers under a ramp flasher and fitted my shark to it, very pleased as from the front it looks like it’s floating.
Decided to spruce up the tower which is very detailed but was all one colour, so it’s been primed, base colour and various layers of different colours followed by washes.
Just highlights, lettering, door and window to do and very pleased with the transformation.

How thick are those spacers and do the sit between the grill and speaker Tony?
Reason I ask is I can cut upto 15mm Acrylic and you could do some kinda lighting effect easily, maybe even shark teeth effect

Col
 
Thanks Colin, they are 9mm and I decided not use speaker lights as the Baywatch grills look better unlit next to the huge colorled dmd and space is very tight, the speaker tweeter cones extend beyond the fitting line which is the only reason for making the spacers.
Appreciate your offer as always 😀
 
Finished at Last,
Not the best pics as they make the leds look far more saturated than they are.
Speaker panel completed, new JBL 2 way speakers fitted and a new speaker loom made and XL Colour LED DMD fitted.
Leds fitted to backbox, led strip fitted under rear glass receiver, led strip fitted to shooter lane and trough.
New instruction cards and decals to Apron.
Barbie floatation device fitted on custom bracket above laserkick targets.
All bulbs, flashers and coils tested.
Some microswitches and ramps adjusted for the playfield protector.
Invisiglass fitted.
Fully play tested and plays very well, no more failed kicks for the skillshots, shark flip now works as it should, NVRAM previously fitted along with the hugely updated game code.
Looks and sounds so good it’s been dragged kicking and screaming from a 90’s game to a pin that is now right at home next to a GB and TWD

The Baywatch looks great by the way. Well done.
 
Amazing work, it looks stunning. You can certainly see the effort and the attention to detail that has gone into it.
