Love the approach you took on leaving the original markup with numbers! It's so refreshing to see a restoration done with such attention to detail and preservation of the original features. I'm glad you didn't opt for digitizing and printing a new one, it's great to see the history and character of the piece preserved.
Thank you so much 😌 I really wanted to blast the yellow parts before printing new labels… But it would have been a mess. I really wonder how those lithographs were made back then 🤔
Fantastic attention to detail! Rescue & Restore did a restoration on a very similar toy years ago. It's a real shame his YT channel has gone cold with no new videos in over 2 years now. The last video has 75 million views! Thank goodness we have you and the other top notch restorers to keep us fans fed!
Thank you! I saw this thumbnail and swore I'd seen this vid a few months ago. But I too follow Rescue & Restore and it was his vid I saw. Glad I'm not crazy😮
As always there is the tripple joy of watching your videos. On one hand there is your restoration talent, watching you do your TheFabrik-things I will never be able to do, it's just fun to watch. Then there's your filming and editing that I still think has short-movie-festival-level. And then there are all these toys you find, so simple, but still so cleverly thought out and built, it's just so cool to see them come back to life. Thx again for putting all these efforts into these videos!
As a born and raised Michigander, I'm always thrilled to see a piece of local history restored. I don't know about collectors in Europe, but I can tell you antique toy collectors here don't consider their collections complete unless they have at least one Wyandotte tin toy in it. Beautifully done restoration.
Splendid restoration job you did on the Slip Ball game. You kept the original score markings intact rather than stripping the old paint off. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. That is excellent work.
Just a beautiful restoration! Everything looks great and the clear coat on the board really did improve the look and certainly protected. You do great work and I always look forward to a new restoration from you. Thanks for sharing this.
Omg I was tripping so hard I swear I've seen this exact pinball toy restored so I had to check my watch history. Sure enough 3 years ago @rescue & restore did this same machine! Great work either way.
Not only do I love watching your technique but also the wonderful variety of things you restore. I have never seen any of them before. It's so interesting to see them. 😊👍
This brought back memories of being a 5 year old at my Aunt Margie’s house back in the mid-sixties, and this exact game was the only toy she had. Nothing worked on it, and the one marble she had was too big to fit in the holes when shot. Those were long boring sundays afternoons. I cannot say I am glad to see another one again, but the work you did on it was outstanding. Thank you for another excellent video. Dan
I knew I recognize this thing. It was the same thing the Rescue and Restore channel did. Very nice work! I look forward to seeing what other things you restore. Am personally a big fan of electronic stuff from the old days. Saw this oven that rescue and restore did, now that was fantastic! If you could do more videos involving those kinds of things, I would really appreciate it. I’ve seen a ton of your videos.
Always my favorite to watch❤️ Need more people to have the opportunity. Ive enjoyed watching the channel grow over the last couple years ive been subscribed
Beautiful! Just beautiful! Reeaally impressed over here Mr. The Fabrik 👏👏👏, which isn't a surprise for your standards, but you're still a tough act for yourself to follow 😁. Thanks man 🙏. 😎
Love this. Really excellent work! I’m not as much of a fan of the close wire mesh - it covers the playing area and score too much for me (maybe a more open mesh only just smaller than the marble would be better?). Can’t wait for the next upload - thanks.
I'm seriously amazed by what they managed to do by just bending sheets of metal. I just don't get how the scoring mechanism work! (good choice to just clear coat the original artwork).
If anyone else is having a major déjà vu you're not alone, Rescue & Restore made a video 3 years ago working on (I think) the exact same model of pinball machine. Took me a good 5 minutes to figure out why this video was so uncanny lmao. R&R's video ↓ th-cam.com/video/BkmooQ8pmD8/w-d-xo.html
They don't make toys like that anymore! I miss those ... I'm wondering why some of the metal tabs were folded over and others were just twisted? Why didn't the manufacturer just fold them all over? That was very well-done! Thank you! - Muddypaw 🐾
Awesome work! One question: I've got an old weather vane (weathercock) - you know, a flat figure of a bird that rotates because of the wind, and a cross with letters that show north, south, east, west. The letters are made of thin tin metal and hollow (empty inside), and they are quite rusty and fragile. Also they have some holes and cracks along the edges. I wanted to squeeze/pour something like epoxy inside those letters to make them sturdy and kinda solid, so afrerwards I could put some metal filler on them, sand and paint them, drill some holes and fix them back on the weathercock. What do you think would be the best way to fix the letters? I understand the epoxy might not be the best option. Thank you very much!
@@TheFabrik I know JB Weld, used it quite a lot. But I suspect these two work best when you have solid base, so they can fill some cavities or cover holes. In my situation the base itself is very fragile - tin letters made of thin metal, rusty and with many holes. That's why it's critical to enforce the whole structure first. Dence putties won't work as I won't be able to fill hollow letters with them, and if I just try to fill the numerous holes, the fix won't hold as the surrounding metal is bad, so no point in it. What do you think?
I always thought it was "Skee-Ball"...never heard it called "skip ball" before, though that name actually makes much more sense. Is Skee-Ball a branding thing like Kleenex whose name has replaced it's more utilitarian actual name question mark

I second that!
Agreed. Really nice restoration.
Damn right!
Thank you so much 😌 I really wanted to blast the yellow parts before printing new labels… But it would have been a mess. I really wonder how those lithographs were made back then 🤔
I came here specifically to say this. I was also shocked that the original wood pieces were kept! Such a great job!

Hey Stefan thank you sooooo much !!! 👀👍 I’m so glad to share it with you 🙌
Another nice save of a toy from days-gone-by. Love how you find all these obscure playthings and re-introduce them to your audience. 👍
I like how you don't BS around with the powder coat. Nice, heavy, and shiny. 👍
Thank you !!!
I was just thinking how his powder coat turns out better than most ive seen. Nice and smooth and even
I like the fact you kept the point wheel original. That was a really nice touch. Kudos!

We didn’t have such toys in Europe !!
So much love and attention to details for a piece of metal... it's amazing!!! My inner perfectionist is happy. Please continue.
I love the counting mechanism, really cool design.
Great work on the restoration
they made some pretty neat stuff before the age of plastics
Difference is it was far more expensive to manufacture. But I'm happy that they're able to be properly preserved
Aaahhh - the powder coating melting point! TYVM ✌🏻🎨☕️
Very cool, keeping the original artwork. great job mate
Games didn't need lights and sounds to be fun. Excellent job

Very nicely done! Beautiful refinishing, excellent process to keep the original markings. As always, great job! Thanks for the entertainment!

The home version of Skee Ball! Love it and nice job too!
That was beautiful. I especially liked the second red powder paint coat - attention to detail.
Amazing toy and a fabulous restoration - any model trains to come
I really enjoy your restoration work not only by watching, but also by listening to the original sound! Keep it up! 😊👍🏻
Thank you !! 🙏
It must be the first pinball machine. You have done a very good work on it. Thank you 😃

You scored big time on this task

Jolie restauration de ce "flipper" ancien. On a envie de le voir fonctionner et on est pas déçu...Bravo !
Wow! The scoring system actually works!
Always my favorite to watch❤️
Need more people to have the opportunity.

Thank you very much for your support 😌
Awesome work!! Looks great!
Excelente vídeo, y hermosa restauración, muchas gracias por compartirla.
Damn! This thing is OLD SCHOOL!
It’s like a portable skeeball game! My favorite arcade game!! ❤❤
Incredible restoration 👍 but im not sure about the mesh at the end 🤔
It’s the original part 👍
Hey TF
Great restoration.
Take care😊
Thank you !! Mostly paint job actually 😉👍
Спасибо! Всегда интересно смотреть за вашей работой. / Thank you! It's always interesting to watch you work.

Beautiful restoration 😊
Clever keeping the score plate original.
Fantástico trabajo..Que hermosos juguetes habian.antes de la llegada del plástico ..
That's pretty cool!
Gorgeous ❤
Very good job 👍👍👍
Turned out great!
OUTSTANDING 🤙
Picture perfect restoration 👍

Love this channel. Your work is ridiculous 🎯🔥✊
encore une belle restauration.
Merci ! 😉
Very nice! Thanks!😊
Olá Amigo,visitando e fortalecendo aqui do Brasil, muito top ficou a restauração.☺🇧🇷
Aku pernah punya permainan ini ditahun 1975 yang lalu, sangat menyenangkan. ❤️❤️❤️
To me the best part of these videos is the sandblasting. Don't know I just like watching the sandblasting.
I'm seriously amazed by what they managed to do by just bending sheets of metal. I just don't get how the scoring mechanism work!
(good choice to just clear coat the original artwork).
Thank you Damien ! That « resto » was mostly paint job actually… Such a few parts, very simple… And so efficient ;)
What can one say, except Ahhhhhhhhh and Ty.

Rescue & restore hat das gleiche Restauriert.
Irgendwie kam mir das bekannt vor 😉
😉👍
Very cool...
Kompliment 👍👍👍
Very nice
That's so cool 😍👍
Still more cool toys I'm jealous
Great job!
I used to love watching the work of sandblasting machines, but now I skip these episodes...
2:13 So that's where they got the idea of the Wi-Fi symbol.
In America, its known as Skee-Ball. Cheers!
well done :)

Только вспоминал🤷🏻♂️

Is there no problem sand blasting can’t solve?
It can't solve a broken marriage, that's for sure.
🎉
Cool again restoration or some other channel restored the exact same thing and it turned out wonder just as yours my guy
Thank you ! It’s Rescue & Restore actually 😉
Felt genuine childlike wonder when the white powder coat turned clear in the oven
Nice
What kind of media and psi are you blasting the metal with?
Awesome work! One question: I've got an old weather vane (weathercock) - you know, a flat figure of a bird that rotates because of the wind, and a cross with letters that show north, south, east, west.

I wanted to squeeze/pour something like epoxy inside those letters to make them sturdy and kinda solid, so afrerwards I could put some metal filler on them, sand and paint them, drill some holes and fix them back on the weathercock. What do you think would be the best way to fix the letters? I understand the epoxy might not be the best option. Thank you very much!
Thank you !! I usually use JB Weld it’s very strong 💪 I also use epoxy putty from Pattex, it work very well 👍
@@TheFabrik I know JB Weld, used it quite a lot. But I suspect these two work best when you have solid base, so they can fill some cavities or cover holes. In my situation the base itself is very fragile - tin letters made of thin metal, rusty and with many holes. That's why it's critical to enforce the whole structure first.

What do you think?
I dont understand the screen did it have one originally? How does the ball get up in there ? Is it to keep the ball from flying off ????
Yup the mesh is the original part so the ball stay in there 👍
What do you do with all of these things after?
Great stuff, although I think the visible tabs would've looked better if they'd been bent over again, instead of waiting to snag on something.
Thanks a lot ! I didn’t want to break them 😰
great job. why 2 coats of powder coat on the red frame?
Yup ! Does the primer job
satisfactory
I love restoration videos like this. But all I can find is ASMR style 😢 is there any with commentary?
Please understand that I know nothing about this skill as I ask this question: why is it necessary to wet sand after powder coating? Thank you!
Thank you ! Just to remove remaining dents and scratches. It gives a satin finish too ;)
لعبة ظريفة
How did you know that paint has no lead? Ive seen other channels doing lead test to similar stuff
Rescue & Restore did one a few years ago. He tested it = no lead 😉
I wish you'd showed how the counting mechanism works
I am waiting yours new video 👏
New video very soon !!
