My kitty Coal making the video! He is a pinball kitty for sure, he makes appearances in all of my pinball videos at home! Mod looks great, I was going to suggest either painting those holes or using the black tape strips to cover them up but looks like the paint did the trick!
You’re getting to the fun end of things here Mike. ….putting back new, clean, adjusted parts is a very satisfying part of the proceedings….and you know it’s gonna make all the difference. Keep at it bro. You’re almost there!
They definitely should have used the initials MDK. I still say that to this day from the movie. I here you can drop some solder on those spinning switch contacts. I know your done already thought. Thanks for sharing
@@pinballshenanigans I haven't tried it so I don't know either sounds like a good i ideal. It may depend on how much voltage go's through it you know pinball lol
When you watch the movie, note the hot sex scene Stallone has with Sandra Bullock! Sheesh, can’t believe you haven’t seen this movie EVER! Wanted to add your acronym LEP can be LEPR. The R is for restoration. Said as Leper, slang word or short for leprosy. Now go do your homework, I’m going to give a pop-quiz on Demo 9.
@pinballshenanigans Unfortunately people making poor decisions and getting themselves hurt is what keeps me employed! 😆😅 I work in construction safety trying to keep these guys safe across the US is a full time job and poor decisions have been keeping me way too busy the past couple of weeks!
That's my problem I justify spending it in my head with stuff like...well you spent 300 on the handles and 300 in boards.. what's another 60 or 200 bucks!? 😂..I might as well just replace that too! 😂😂
@pinballshenanigans That's how it's been on this Mata Hari I have been working on.. put the Hardtop on it and was like man now the plastics look like crap , get new plastics, we'll now the pop bumper bodies and skirts look like crap, might as well replace them.. well since ya got new plastics might as well get new posts.. well since you are rebuilding the pops might as well di the flippers and slingshots!...Complete one thing then add 2 more to the list... with the latest one being well the playfield is going to be all new might as well restencil the cabinet and powdercoat the armor and legs!...Now I just gotta have time to do it all!
I just picked up a DM two weeks ago too. Gonna do basically the same as you, just clean and reuse as much as possible. Hope it turns out to be a fun game, I've never seen or played one before.
Getting right down in the weeds with this game. Nice work on the playfield…I don’t understand why folks put black rubbers on a pinball game. When you see the horrible black filth that gets all over a playfield, why would anyone line up for more of the same?…I haven’t used Titan rubbers…I only use new fresh white ones. …. but then again, I’m an old fashioned guy. This game should scrub up real nice.
This arcade was my childhood, I miss it so much. Grand bends never been the same without it. I wish I knew what happenned to the owner, before it closed, he was such a great guy who really loved this arcade. I almost saw him everyday growing up.
That's a stiff price for chroming the handles. But the reality is that they had to be done to complete the game. Even if they make bruises when you're doing a shop job. The orange rubbers look good. You could paint the flipper bats to match the grey on the playfield and put those blue or black flipper rubbers. I've painted the bats before with much success.
Also, maybe the price reflects the disposal of nasty chemicals. Chrome playing as I understand it is very nasty and chemical waste must be disposed of properly and probably expensively.
