First pinball - Rescued pinball and need help restoring.
Finally i was able to track down The Getaway (paid more than i should have ) but its in a good place now and needs a lot of love.
I have been reading up on how to clean the play field and wax it but there are a few basic things i need help with and hope you guys and gals can assist.
To start things off all the electronics work just fine but here is the laundry list of things that i need to do.I just ordered a new rubber kit, novus 2 and 1 and new pinballs but would like to know what the best wax for the field would be and any other parts i need.
1. The play field and flippers were burnt and lots of burnt wax on the field. This poor thing never saw any new coats of wax. Luckily the play field is intact minus one chip on one of the lights.
2. The Super charger sign left leg broke off so it kind of hangs there.
3. stop light is loose and hangs to the right.
4. Flipper up top seems weak. Could be the poor playing field but does seem a bit weak.
5. Missing a post on left side flipper and the guide seem to be slightly bent.
6. plastics near the flippers at bottom are warped (due to the heat that melted the rubbers etc)
7. Once in a while the super charger closes the gate too fast and ball shots back down the ramp instead of the return on left side. (metal needs cleaning)
8. Several light bulbs are burnt out so need to replace those. (i want to do LED kit later on)
9. Kick back plugger not centered and very weak. Sometimes does not get past the return lane and if it does it just shoots it all the way to the right return lane.
I knew that i would have my work cut out for me but I just need some guidance from seasoned pinball owners.
Thank you for any help and guidance you can offer!
