It’s starting to look like a pinball machine agian!<\/p>\n

I’ve put the playfield back together and noticed that the left top flipper didn’t work and the right top flipper was weak. A quick pass with some sanding paper between the leaf contacts and they’re both tiptop again.<\/p>\n

Here are some detail shots. Remember, I’m making this pinball playable, not perfect.<\/p>\n

Then I turned my attention to the neck. In my previous post I mentioned I was going to use a toothbrush to get the white spots in the black paint, but when I was at the store to get some more ground paint for the legs, I saw a black paint spray can that already had the white spots in it. It’s called “Granit” effect. So I bought a can and here is the result. I used one coat of black and one coat of the “Granit” black.<\/p>\n

Next where the legs. I got the two back legs back from the blacksmith and they were perfect (at a cost of an amazing 5\u20ac!). So I sanded them down, gave them a base coat, two coats of glossy black and new levelers (with rubber protectors).<\/p>\n

I also had a look at all the ground wires. NONE of them were connected in the transformer casing. That’s fixed now, my hair no longer reaches for the sky when I press the flipper buttons \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

So I’m almost there, but not quite. The CPU board still needs work and the driver board still needs a thorough overhaul. In the mean time here’s a picture of where I am now.<\/p>\n

The result so far.<\/p><\/div>\n
