So over the past year I've started restoring my machines.. A multi-williams
in a restored joust cabinet, a Berzerk, the latest is a Black Hole Pinball. Each
time I made mistakes and found ways to correct them.
My latest...
I royally screwed up he playfield on my black hole last night. I was curing the
Upper playfield clear coat with an infrared heat lamp and I put it too close..
Clear overheated, shrunk, and cracked down to the wood ruining the
playfield. A big and costly screwup but I'll replace it and move forward. I'm
too far into the restoration to stop now.
Now I know I am far from alone in the "Restoration mistakes" dept. We all
love to post the glorious money shots of the final restoration but I rarely read
about the mistakes that occur along the way. Since none of us do
restoration for a living, I'm sure there are plenty that people dont talk about.
What are some of your biggest ones? We're all human.
