I'm so sick of looking at it, but it turned out great. In a few weeks, I'm going to do two at the same time to see how the process goes. Should be quicker, and even more accurate with a couple of tweaks. #pinball #bally #restoration

Finally got the last layer on this thing. I need to clear it tomorrow, do a few touch ups, clear it and buff it, and it'll be done. #bally #pinball #restoration

Super excited that I'm on the last color (black) tomorrow. I'm screen printing Bally eightball pinball playfields, and it's been in the works for months.

Still going! Just added the yellow layer today, and might go for blue and maroon too. Less flashy today, but if I do blue and maroon, I'll have 5/7 screens done #pinball #eightball

Finally screen printing my first Bally eightball pinball playfield. White and green look great!

I flattened everything out after clear coating one final time, and there were no shiny spots left (which means it's flat). Now I can finally start screen printing this Bally eightball playfield

Hopefully the final clear and flatten before screen printing my first Bally eightball pinball playfield re-screen.

I'm thrilled these repro eightball pinball arch/aprons turned out perfect. Now I need to powder coat and screen print them.

Almost ready to screen print these eightball pinball pf's. I've got the jig and frame set up, which is one of the hardest parts. I'm going to match the black screen first, screen print the alignment markers, then go back to the first color and align it with the markers. I'm making a few aprons too.

Finally burned all of the screens for my eightball pinball playfield re-screen project.

Terminator 2 pinball apron. The one on top is the original, and the bottom is the repro. So damned close, I think I'm gonna roll with it

Doing a terminator 2 pinball apron. Overall, looks good, but I'm gonna tweak the darker blue a little to make it pwrfect

Hopefully I'll have these custom screens burned in the next week or so. I'm re-screen printing Bally eightball pinball playfields. This is for 1 of 7 colors. No idea where I'm gonna store these

Pretty happy with all of the pinball aprons I've done lately. Just finished funhouse today. I still have several others not pictured here

This is cool. I put a transparency for the black on my cleaned up Bally Eightball pinball playfield to make sure my vector images lined up correctly before making screens. I'm going to clear, re-screen print, then clear again - old eightball playfields for 650 shipped (exchange required)

All finished with a couple of new pinball apron designs. Diner and dragonfist. I felt like I was so far behind before this week, glad to catch up a little. Funhouse and whirlwind up next

Happy to say that I can now do classic stern pinball aprons now too. This one is for an ultra rare dragonfist.

I finished screening the first williams diner pinball apron and shooter cover this morning. I love how it turned out

I just tested out my screens, and screen printed a diner pinball apron. Pretty happy with the results!

I've already completely vectorized the eightball pinball playfield, but it wasn't aligned correctly, so I did it again from scratch. I printed it on a transparency, and it fits perfectly this time. I'm experimenting with an eightball in my shed to create screens necessary to re-screen the playfield

Printing some transparencies to make some screens tomorrow, so I can screen print some other pinball aprons. I don't think this part ever gets old, just looks so cool

Finally finished the paint job on my Gottlieb reactor arcade cabinet. Took forever, but it's what I was shooting for

Finally finished the backbox for the black knight pinball. Definitely ran into some stuff along the way, buy happy to be at the end

This is about as glossy as I can get the orange on my Gottlieb reactor arcade cabinet. My ultimate goal is "ark of the covenant" reaction when looking at it

Finally getting around to my Gottlieb reactor. This thing is pretty much going to be 90% repro stuff, but it's the best I could do considering I've never seen one in person 😂

False alarm last time I said the Budweiser tapper was done. I put in a new monitor, and sent the board off to fix the sound again.

Crazy. I got an Atari marble madness for an insane deal. It wasn't booting, but I tried the ol' press on the chips to dislodge corrosion, and it freaking works!

Finished the bottom of the Williams black knight pinball I've been re stenciling for a while after clearing and sanding a third time, then buffing.

Ive been working on this black knight pinball for a while. I decided to buff one side to see how it was going, and decided to clear it one more time to leave a little space between the artwork and top of the clear.

“Your father did that too!”

Just started watching Alien Earth, and holy moly! I literally had to double check to make sure I wasn't actually watching the first movie. Beautiful job

Holy hell! After I stopped working on this Gottlieb Haunted House about a year ago because I couldn't figure it out. I spent about 5 min to fix each of the issues within the last 24 hours.

I haven't really been in the mood to clean this up (power brick from tapper arcade), so I'm glad it's over. Almost ready to put everything back together

New bezels for tapper and Mario Bros arcade from Phoenix arcade. Just incredible stuff as always

Just finished applying the sideart to my Budweiser tapper. Love the look

Starting to stencil the black knight pinball. We are going with colors that are metallic and quite a bit more bold than the original, just because.

Finishing up the base coat for this Williams black knight pinball before stenciling it

Piece by piece, I've been restoring my junky Nintendo Mario Bros arcade game. Glad I recently had a tetanus shot

Repainted the tapper arcade machine today after flattening it. Will sand it flat one more time before applying decals. Also realized that if I add an extra piece to my powder coating order, I typically don't get charged for it, so my Mario Bros is getting redone piece by piece 😂.

Finally got my hvlp setup back in action. I started with a base coat for my tapper that'll be sanded flat before putting on the decals. My Gottlieb Reactor is next, now that I've taken the first (and hardest step).

Just got my hardware back from being re-brassed for my tapper arcade machine.

My goal is only to post about Pinball. But this drove by.

Looking pretty sharp. Pinballs Machines.

If you’re still a T___p supporter after today’s TV debacle, I don’t want to know you exist. Block me on every platform and never contact me again. Or tell me you still support him so I can do the same.

So pleased with myself for the week. I finished all of this month's Addams family pinball aprons and shooter gauge restorations, scanned and verified several cabinets, and fulfilled several orders. Now it's maybe time to work on some arcade restorations next week.

Always restoring Addams Family pinball aprons. Working on the next run of 6, and almost done.

I had a surprisingly productive day today. I verified the sizing of gyruss, finished Qix artwork and sizing to add to arcadestencils.com and also started screen printing 6 more Addams family pinball aprons for people waiting on them. Also helped a buddy fix his pinball machine

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

Just finished a pacman stencils set for a customer today.

Just a couple pics of Stern Uncanny X-Men pinball, that's all.
