Thanks for filming this Ron! I really enjoyed your painting on this backglass. The gameplay on this one is fun. It's nice to have a clean playfield in the middle for once.
I love seeing Ronnie do the paint stuff, he is actually very talented to be honest. I tried to imitate what he does before and my touch ups suck compared to his
Great work on the backglass Ronnie. As you say, you didn’t have a lot of options…..but it looks much better than it did before. This looks like a game where you could rack up a lot of points with the triple bonus. This is a different layout that actually works very well, and it makes for a very fun game. Thanks for all the vids this year….Happy New Year to all at Lyons Arcade.
When I purchased mine in 2019, nearly all the black ink had flaked off the backglass. I decided to just opt for a replacement. Maybe I'll email a picture of the two of them. But it is such a cool game. That extra ball in nearly impossible to get because I find that you don't roll down that right inlane very often. Usually just goes out. Nice work on this one, as always. Thanks for making the videos.
I always had to backflip from the left flippers up the right alley behind the right flipper to get the extra ball. I lived in a free ball state so I had to keep doing that to get to 10 balls to play. Sometimes it would give me 2 extra balls for the effort. This machine looks like only one extra ball per player at a time with that light on the playfield above the left flippers. Lucky Ace, one player.
Sounds like the only way to fix the back glass to perfection is to screen a new one. But as I'm posting this I wondered, what about digital printing on plastic film? Then attach it to the back of clear glass. You'd need the artwork though. Surely there are services that do that sort of thing? I googled and it seems it's a part of the printing industry all right. They use it for signage etc.. Expensive? Probably a fair bit more than a paint touch-up but it sounds like an option for someone? And I have no idea if it'd look the same as a screened glass. Since others threw out ideas I couldn't be left out, lol. Cheers.
This might sound crazy as a suggestion but have you ever heard of Kintsugi, which is a Japanese art that repairs broken pottery with gold. Perhaps the way to repair glass is to repair in a way that highlights not hide age... like I said maybe that's crazy but perhaps you could have results by approaching the problem in a different way. Or as you have in the past white or wash of brown can hide things in what looks like shadow or highlights :).
Something you may want to try is something called printable water transfer it's like the old decals that you used to put on plastic airplanes and cars p what is printable you can use for inkjet just a suggestion
With the chime unit, shouldn’t the coils be mounted on the outside so the resonator can go in the middle. I have the same style chime unit and there’s a bucket in the middle.
the backglass. OEM survivor? a reproduction, maybe? this EM machine has a neat coherent look to it. Aha! Paint flaking issues. so it took a While to track down.
you should have just done the black on the hand that was bad scraped off the pink on that hand completely the repainted it after you matched it by doing that whole hand it would have looked good and been hard to tell it was redone
I just wonder. Could some layers of color wash not fill in the paintless areas? Sure you would have darker edges of the washed areas. But as the edges still stay visible anyway, you lose nothing there. Positives would be, there are no brush strokes. You don't have to paint to the edge, as you fill the slightly lower area between the edges of the original paint. The thickness of the paint is super thin, and can be controlled by how many layers you would create. Biggest problem you could get, is that the waterlike paint don't flow, and just sits there as a droplet. It would on glass, but your painting on varnish. My ADHD brain just can't handle the idea, that there is no better way to repair those back glass panels. 😳 Just brainstorming here. Not meant as critique! 🥴
That does work. It will not be perfect, but it will be more uniform. I'd like to try airbrushing this technique, because you can control the width of the jet and amount of spray at the same time.
There is a BETTER way, just not anywhere near as quick as this way. So you could do it the way you're describing, but this took me about 2 hours.... the way you're describing would take at least 10 times that for marginally better results.... At that point with that much time invested it would be easier to just buy a reproduction backglass, unfortunately.
@@LyonsArcade That's why I am bad as a business man. 😅 Plus ADHD makes me forget the time. So even in my brainstorming I seem to forget that factor. 😊Thanks for answering, and I wish You a happy new year! 👍🎉

I appreciate it, I really enjoy this machine too!
Glass looks great. Cool game.
Well you preserved history. Thankyou keep up memories of these machines.
Those jet bumpers are powerful
Nicely done! Fun watching these games come back to life.
It’s an excellent lite-refurbish, keeping the patina. Glass looks great. Playfield super good. Great Job.

Thank you for posting
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Good job!

Thanks as always Mark, we appreciate it!
Happy enough makes a good daily driver for some lucky customer.
Nice work. Another one back from the dead.
Great game for sure!
Classic game for sure!
I grew up playing that pinball game. a Buddy of mine had one when i was a kid back in the early 80's. still play it once in a while through emulation.
This might be the exact same cabinet! Did you vandalize it in any identifiable way??? :)

@@ericbentsen1785 ooooh living on the edge with that back flip. Yes, Dealers Choice being the replay 4-player version was one extra ball per ball.

Yes they make films you can replace the existing glass with

The machine I had when I was 12, I kept the tilt, but softened it up so I could give it a little English..lol
What about thinning the paint so it is very thin and apply it sparingly
How would that be better?
@LyonsArcade the thinner the paint is the easier it would be to match the shade of paint with the amount of light able to come through it
Something you may want to try is something called printable water transfer it's like the old decals that you used to put on plastic airplanes and cars p what is printable you can use for inkjet just a suggestion

Another grear em video, thanks! What about that different font type fake 0 on all 4 player score reels, are those original?

Not Sure
Only the Ballys Pinball games have the Resonating Bucket for the Chimes? Williams & Gottlieb pinball games Chimes don't have a Resonating Bucket?

You said we would never see the video if I dropped the back glass. My question is, have you ever dropped one?

ok
i guess if there was a type of paint that sticks to glass but doesn't stick to the existing paint... but that seems unlikely

Just the tip though.
👍👍👍😎☕
Since you guys are pinball dealers would this be your choice? 😅
That's pretty funny
