Wow! Just wow! 😮

Gotta give you credit for making the most energetic playfield repopulation video I've ever seen.

[@highendpins]

Appreciate it. I try to make the more boring drawn out parts at least tolerable to watch. If not I am going to have to change the channel to pinball painting and finished games.

Man I can never hold the wire long enough without burning my fingers! Looks awesome.

Man oh man , the trip somone was one when they did the art for the playfield and backglass on that game ! It definitely has that seventies blacklight poster kind of vibe to it . Or maybe I’m imagining things 😂. Anyhow , game is looking awesome! Do you ever nickel plate your own parts ? I know it’s quite a process.

[@highendpins]

Thanks I had a nickel plated for a long time. I have not looked into doing my own in a while but honestly the last thing I need is more things to have a set up for,chemicals to buy and task to do myself.

Been loving the QS resto! I will be doing one soon. Did you use the original spinners? Mine are missing and I bought new ones and wonder how they will work. Also what are those things called that you used for the GI lamp sockets (little clips) so that you didnt have to solder the sockets to the ground braid! That is a nice little trick!

[@highendpins]

Great. I used Bally spinners that were already on there and stripped them. They work fine no difference that I can spot. Those are solder lugs here is a link www.pinballlife.com/6-solder-lug.html It allows you to remove the lamp socket with ease at any point in the future.

@@highendpins Thanks HEP that is great!

Curious as to the choice of using metal pop bumper rings instead of the much faster playing plastic ones like the stock ones that were on Quicksilver?

[@highendpins]

@@rollergoalie16 It’s the condition of the originals that dictates what gets used or replaced. All that stuff is cracked or broken on this one so it’s an easy choice to replace it. No one makes the plastic replacements.

[@rollergoalie16]

@@highendpins a friend of mine purchased his plastic replacements from Swinks, who actually makes the classic Stern pop bumper rings (part B-695-3) in various colors (including the factory gray) to match any theme. This might be an option in future classic Stern restorations. Hope this info helps.

[@highendpins]

Cool Jady makes lots of great stuff had no idea about that.
