PLAVFIELD RESTORATION TIPS
Gooo loEAS!
RETOUCHING BALLY
METAL
DROP T ARGErS
These are made of that soft plas-
tics and regular enamel won't
adhere to it. Use vinyl bumper
retouching paint or Pactra paint
which can be bought in hobby
shops. Pactra paint is used on vi-
nyl plastic RIC model car bod-
ies and comes in different colors.
Gottlieb targets are hard plastic
and enamel works fine.
Clean all the metal pieces of pop
bumpers, drop target assemblies,
flipper assemblies etc. with alu-
minum mag wheel cleaner which
you can get at any automotive
store.
CLEANING
PLAsnc
PLAYFIELD POSTS
Get one of those plastic netting
bags that fruit comes in and
throw in the posts, tie a knot on
the open end and put the whole
thing in the dishwasher. Do the
same with nylon acorn nuts.
RUBBER
If you're cheap and you want to
reuse those little rubber retainers
that hold the plastics down, you
can get them gleaming by soak-
ing them in bleach for a day.
PAINT TRAY
Keep the plastic part of the pack-
aging that screws come in to mix
paint for retouching the playfield.
You can hold the clear plastic
"tray" up to to spot that needs
retouching to get a closer color
match.

BRUSHES
Has your retouching paint brush
gone frizzy? You can "sharpen"
it with an electric shaver. The
kind with the screen works bet-
ter that the one with the rotating
blades.
