How To: Refurbish Pinball Legs and Rusty Parts

[@PinsandFins]

Thanks for the great videos. Seems like you have stopped making them. Are you still in the pinball hobby? I miss your videos and appreciate the ones you have make and posted for us to watch.

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make

Spent 20 minutes watching just to find out you bought new leg levellers! :-D Trying to find out if they're all same size so I get the right ones

1 gallon of white Vinegar + 1 cup of citric acid will make a powerful rust remover. Not strong enough to damage the metal but strong enough to remove rust in few hours. Cost is fraction of evapo rust. but be carful not to put it in a sealed container

Where do you get the pipe plugs?

How do you dispose of the spent Evaporust? I imagine it can't just go straight down the drain, correct?

[@PinballWorkshop]

I've never had to dispose of it. It's reusable over and over. From Evaporust's website: "Evapo-Rust has an indefinite shelf life. The product can be re-used until its effectiveness starts to wear off. In general, one gallon of Evapo-Rust® will remove 1/2 pound of pure dry rust, which equates to approximately 300 pounds of moderately rusted steel. Since rust is 1/17th the weight of iron, the workload is quite substantial. In terms of a degradation curve, Evapo-Rust® has a specific gravity of 1.042 when the solution is fresh. After repeated uses, the solution will darken and start to lose its effectiveness. Once the solution reaches a specific gravity of 1.08, the solution will no longer be effective and should be replaced."

Well hot damn! Not only did you provide me with great news (it never needs to be disposed of) you went above and beyond with pulling the answer from their site. Something that past me apparently was incapable of doing. I have unsubbed and subsequently immediately resubbed. Just because you earned it with that comment and it's Monday and dear god I'm so bored.

I'm here for ya! :D

Dibs on your used evaporust, James!

Why go though all of this work and spend 30 dollars on evapo rust when new legs cost 50 dollars? Cool for games were the legs are unatanium. I love the tip with the leg bolts and microfiber cloth

Hope you're being REALLY careful when wearing gloves while using a buffing wheel. If your glove catches on the wheel, you could lose a finger.

Good thing you speed up the footage so we can't hear you cuss. Lol. I've said many a choice words breaking those dang things loose!
