Love a crisp backbox edge!
Right with the taf gold super minty well on its way it's time to crack on with some T2
Ok on to the playfield I took both options I had bought a new playfield and sent the original one for restoration by chris platt Chris has done an absolute cracking job on the restoration the clear coat is better and flatter than the new one
But side by side the new on just looks so much more vibrant you don't realise just how much the colours fade over the years so I am going to go with the new one
Suns out paints out
1st job upper and lower T nuts
Then ball guides these can be a little tricky if the clear coat has filled up the holes I sometimes have to drill the holes out in this case it was perfect and the holes where all in the correct places
On to re posting the playfield again another little tricky job due to the clear coat filling the holes the posts won't fit particularly the ones that are tapered if you force them in with a hammer you will almost certainly damage the playfield I have found the best way is to buy a good set of precision drills and slow go up 0.1mm at a time if you go too much you will break the clear from the print or worse take a chunk of of print off down to wood
Or as more often the case, they just didn't get the colours right on the new one.
Either way not worth grumbling about, they both look beautiful.
going to look amazing when done Chris..the neon colours in the new one do look the business...
All ball guided up look at those lovely polished ball guides
Pinball porn, I really don't like white rubbers tho maybe that's just me
Chris, what's your process for getting the guides so shinny please?
I am guessing one of these..??
I use one on occasion, and they do bring the Guide rails up nicely Mirror shiney!

I find I can't get a good shine on ball guides using the buffer alone. Usually wet sand them first for a few minutes with 800 and then move up to 1500. After that you can get a nice mirror shine easily with the buffing wheel.
Original flyer shows white, but as this isn't a purists restoration I wonder if some of those new sexy silicone translucent rubbers would look the business?

Maybe I misunderstood but I thought @chris b sent all the metalwork off to the platers? New chrome is the ultimate shine job!
give them to a friend who does them for me
I stand corrected! Don't listen to me... I just make it up as I go along... memory shot to pieces
On with the lower side of playfield today
Came across my first real problem today with the playfield it's pretty normal for a lot of the dimples to not be spot on or missing but on this one it has a bulb hole missing not that much of a problem but just drilled it out
You can't beat nice new hard wear
Another nice little chris b tip if you are doing a bank of targets always better to do the hard work on the bench and then fit to playfield
And that's about it for today

titan's are fantastic, great bounce, way better than superbands. Only downside is the purple colour is a little too lilac.
Rebuild looks epic Chris - will be be the NLP show machine?
