| Williams "Black Knight" pinball restoration. | |
| Playfield Restoration | |
| Not too much here yet, as I'm more concerned with the electronics and other big issues with the machine. However, I will be doing some smaller stuff here and there on the playfield, and will put it up here as I get them done. Sorry I don't have much just yet, but I am working on it. | |
| As of this writing, nobody currently is
stocking original style pop bumper caps for this machine. Sure, I can get
decals for the center section, or ones with that center eagle stamped on it,
but nobody stocks anything with the outer scrollwork. Not a problem! All it took was a 600dpi scan of a very faded but complete original, a few hours editting it, and some laser decal paper. Viola! A two piece waterslide decal with both the center eagle, and the outer scrollwork, to apply on a generic red cap. . Of course, it still needed some help. A bit of Micro-Sol decal solution and a couple coats of Future to seal it down finished it all up. Not bad, eh? Especially considering what it replaced. |

Another small addition,
this one took a lot less work than the above. I picked up a pair of the
"prototype" outlane plastics from the Mr. Pinball classfieds. They do really
make a visual impact, as I always felt that leaving the bare steel in this area
made the game look unfinished. Unfortunately, Williams left this exposed on a lot of games over the years. Dissapointing really, as your eyes spend so much time in that area watching the flippers. |
