PLAYFIELD
First task is to remove the playfield out of the cabinet and place on my rotisserie that I had made. Removed all rubbers, lane guides, plastics, pop bumper assemblies - Completely stripped all parts from the top of the playfield. Cleaned playfield with Novus 2 and applied Canarba Wax. Decided not to attempt any playfield touch-ups at this early stage of my resto work. Replaced all light sockets and bulbs in playfield. Replaced Pop Bumper bodies and caps, Replaced lane guides,posts and all rubbers, Replaced Flipper Bats with original type plastic. Replaced all plastics with repos from PBR.
All Bumper Caps and Bodies, Bulbs and Sockets were replaced as well as all Rubbers and Flippers.
            
APRON
Top apron was repainted, however lower apron and ball shooter were in bad condition ( scratched and rusty ). Unfortunately I was unable to locate another apron, I rubbed back apron and shooter and applied 1 coat metal primer, 2 coats of undercoat , 2 coats of acrylic white and then applied the Waterslide Decals, This full process can be found at Applying Water Slide Decals at my Tips and Information page.

CABINET , BACK BOX and COIN DOOR
First task was to start at the cabinet / back box and coin door - Removed coin door & Ball shooter, Stripped old paint off cabinet and back box, fortunately the original art was visible, so I was able to trace the artwork, all dents and cracks were filled , applied 2 coats of undercoat , 2 coats of water based enamel ( All these coatings were applied by a small paint roller - This full process can be found at Cabinet Painting with a Roller at my Tips and Information page.
Coin Door and Ball Shooter surround were stripped of paint and applied 1 coat spray metal primer, 1 coat of spray undercoat and 2 coats of Chrome Spray paint. Replaced ball shooter & spring, coin reject buttons and replay button as well as the coin slot surrounds and decals.
Legs were lightly sanded with 800 wet and dry sand paper using METAL MAGIC as the liquid.
As you can see in the pictures, quite happy with the final result compared to how it looked before
