Don’t make them like they used to… or do they?

Giving RoadShow and clean-up and just removed this monster. Not gone near the heads yet.



Look at all those welds! Heavy bugger too. Completely impractical to clean inside it.



What are the modern equivalents like? Does Godzilla’s moving building beat Dr Who’s uppydowny thing maybe? My Metallica has a decent chunk of metal hiding below the surface for the hammer and coffin lock, and that’s very cool.

Show me some big mechs…

Re cleaning the inside of those mechs. Ultrasonic cleaners are great for that……. If you have one!

I think GZ building has more metalwork but DW definitely has more electronics. Having had to take the DW mini PF out several times in the past month, I bet that GZ is a lot easier to service!

I’ve got one, but it’s nowhere near big enough!

Been suffering this all my life!

Dr Who.

So big it needs its own manual.

Cleaning up a Cirqus Voltaire at the moment
needed to remove the ringmaster, found out that i needed to remove the plate on his head BEFORE detaching the mechanics under the playfield
At least everything is connected with plugs

Disappearing pop bumper and slingshot assembly
The pop bumper has three coils, one to lift it up, one to release it back down and one normal

That's a work of art. Looks like your metal is corroding though, can you get it cleaned up?

That was the first mech I ever removed from a Pinball machine. Was disappointed when all others paled in comparison!

I need to look at it again actually, as some balls drop out of it and miss the magic stand up. The game is level so I have no idea what's happening!

Catching on the spinner maybe? Or maybe check the round blue rubber inside the exit.

I wont even try. There are parts that are stuffed. I will remove all the mechs, take them apart, and send everything off to get replated
