Hailrazer's Star Explorer Pinball Restore : All Games Matter!
My wife called me up last Wednesday ecstatic! She had bought me a "real pinball" from Goodwill for $50
Well bless her kind heart , she had bought me a pinball, kinda
She had brought home a 1977 Star Explorer Pinball by Rapid Pinball. A home use only pinball that was sold in Sears and Radio Shack for $399.
And it was badly in need of a restore:
As you can see she needed a bit of work. So what's the plan.
1: New laminate on the entire thing
2: New plexi glass
3: Replace the backglass with a better one
4: Paint the legs
5: Make edge protecting rails for the bottom of the cab
6: Buff chrome rails.
7: Replace all rubber
