Restoration projects:
Gottlieb 'Spirit of '76' restoration
12/26/03 Rescued from a dusty old warehouse. Every plastic is broken!
1/21/04 Cleaning up playfield... the new plastic set really helps.
1/29/04 Cleaned inserts and replaced bumper bodies. Looks good enough to play! But it can't. Still gotta deal with the relays...
3/12/04 Got it back from Mike Cousins, working great! Repro'd center plastic and it's ready to go.
Williams 'Pinbot' restoration (current)
10/26/03 Oh no! Looks like it was stored outside!
but look... the playfield was factory mylared. It's better than my 'good' Pinbot...& the (flat) plastics are all intact!
11/22/03 - 12 chips later, MPU, sound board, and displays are alive!
12/17/03 - Hours and hours of cleaning later, the playfield is starting to look better than my 'good' Pinbot.
3/14/04 - Finally did something on this project - picked up a new cabinet and backbox in Tallahassee.
3/16/04 - After patching and painting it, I put the new cabinet together and prepared to transfer all the guts.
3/18/04 - Almost finished. The wiring harness was a lot of fun to transfer lemme tell you.
3/19/04 - Wow what an improvement! Still have to do the bottom of the playfield though.
Gottlieb 'Slick Chick' restoration (still ongoing)
1/18/02 - 'fresh' off of ebay. Nasty!
1/19/02 - playfield teardown. Under the grime, beautiful paint!
1/20/02 - Rotten looking cabinet too. That's gotta be dealt with...
2/24/02 - repaint bottom cabinet (it was too far gone not to)
4/11/02 - lots of electrical work still to do, incl. replacing two missing relays.
3/31/06 - Still haven't had time to finish this project!

DISCLAIMER: I collect, restore, and enjoy both pinball and video games. While I consider pinball to be more 'pure', I value both types of coin-op game, and believe a good arcade should cater to both interests!
