My first table has arrived

That looks great. Much better than the one I played last night. Beautiful work Kevlar.

Aw man, now I wanna play that RIGHT NOW!! Forgot just how good time noisy that table is.

 

[Kevlar]

It's not so noisy mechanically with the glass on, actually thinking about it I was taking my life in my hands playing with the glass off, had quite a few balls hitting the glass and me instinctively flinching away from the table!. Gotta get those stand up ball launching targets sorted.

Classic Steve Ritchie - bombard the player with as much sensory overload as possible.

It's why I want an F14 Tomcat so much and what makes T2 such a great game.

So pleased you've got it working and looking so good already. Welcome to the club!

It's awkward trying to video yourself, you wouldn't believe how
I managed to set up my iPhone to record that clip!

 

[Carl Spiby]

Tripod?

 

[Kevlar]

Tripod?

Onto an iPhone? There's probably cases that can do that. No it was balanced on top of a pile of cd cases on top of the back of a leather office chair.

My question for today, how do you clean the steel ramps and guides and what with? I read someone say don't be abrasive with them because they have a protective coating?

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

I hit mine with Novus#2 without pressure because it is a mild abrasive for plastic and metals harder just go with the brushed in grain or use a degreaser like simple green or something similar then give them a waxing with whatever you use for a quick detail and ALWAYS use a micro fiber towel. For chome rails just give them a good buffing with a micro fiber towel THIS is a PAIN and best done with the parts removed, if your going to do it do it RIGHT dont get into a habit of "good enough" KEVLAR you inspired me to make a video so it should be up in a bit.

 

[Kevlar]

Thanks skillshot

Your welcome and remember happy machine/ happy pinhead.

Any work, updates or problems? Isnt it fun to take the glass off and admire all the work that went into these things? I like to just look at it.

 

[Kevlar]

No, was back in work yesterday so havent been on it since Saturday. Waiting on some spares atm, bumper caps, rubbers, cleaner etc.

Informative thread and nice video. I could kinda feel your disappointment and elation throughout the thread.

When you spend CAI$$H on a toy you want it to work but when the toy is an antique you always got that what if thought and the only way to not worry is enjoy it while it lasts and learn how to fix it and eliminate the fear.
