Hot Tip Pinball Restoration part 10: How to Flatten Plastics

[@asdftwef]

If you have any old pinball glass that isn’t tempered, which I did and needed to be replaced, then I cut the pinball cover glass into three pieces to use for flattening! I thought this was a good reuse. I did the same process, but put some heavier ceramic cookware on top to add to the pressure, which helped.

@@asdftwef good tip to reuse the old glass… and bonus points for reusing for a pinball purpose! I have a couple pieces of glass I’m already using for flattening plastics but this is a good tip; I think I have an old sheet of untempered glass. I might use it for this purpose if I need something bigger than what i currently have for flattening plastics. Thanks

Those plastics turned out perfect! Also nice job on color matching the green.

Hey Leebo! Was wondering when the next update was coming...Believe me I know all too well, life gets in the way sometimes and slows things down...not always a bad thing!! Thank you for bringing us along, and looking for the next update! That Attack From Mars was incredible...some serious details going on and the colors were awesome...If a machine in that condition was to hit the market what would its value be?

@@mazzg1966 oh yes, life has been busy! Trying to keep up with the pinball projects along the way. That AFM is pretty incredible. Way more details than what I covered. I should probably showcase his other games. AFM is sort of his holy grail. I doubt he’ll ever sell so hard to put a price on it.
