No, if you’re talking about the playfield. There’s no real repair you can do to the old playfields short of a complete strip and re-do, which really doesn’t make a lot of sense for a game like this. Cabinets can be repainted pretty easily, but this one has a decent cabinet.
There’s a little bit of wear in some places and what’s referred to in the pinball world as “planking” of the playfield. Thats’s when you see the parallel lines in the paint that’s due to the wood swelling and contracting from humidity over time. No fix for it. The best thing to do on something like this is to just wipe the playfield down with naptha, which won’t affect the paint, and wax it it with a good quality carnuaba based wax. That’s what I’ll be doing tomorrow, I suspect. -D > On Apr 6, 2020, at 7:55 PM, Dwight Giles <dwight.gi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > So the do you have,to repaint it? > > Dwight Giles Jr. > Wickford RI > > On Mon, Apr 6, 2020, 7:46 PM Dan Penoff via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com > <mailto:mercedes@okiebenz.com>> wrote: > Set up a blog on my website to cover the restoration of the Williams > “Klondike” pinball machine.
