    Default Machine with changable face?

    In the last couple weeks I was surfing the net and saw a vintage machine that you could swap out the play field area in one piece, I can't relocazte that website.
    Which brand machines can you do this on?
    Many thanks

    Default Re: Machine with changable face? restoration

    Do you know the web site that shows that,

    I need to get to the other point,
    When a machine isnt worth restoring,

    On the one I have now

    The main issues after you get past all the metal having rust is the face or playfield has a gouge right above one tulip and a nail bent all the way over,

    My one idea was just take the whole play field and place into a machine with better metal and parts but that doesnt help the rusty tulips bent nail or gouge in the face,

    I have restorted a couple machines or thought I did perhaps the pros would just say I did a very deep cleaning of otherwise nice machines,

    I just need to figure out if this new one to me is a total loss or not.

    Thanks
    Cheers,

    The early mechanicals don't normally have interchangeable faces. That started about 1990+. It all depends on how much time your willing to put into it and how good you want it to look and what your willing to put up with. If it's really unique with a fancy center feature, go for it!

    This is the one I just got that needs to be restored the theme is the same I had as a child, the monkey slides down the tree and gets his butt bit by the gator the problem is the metal is all very rusty, but I will give it a try to fix it up.




    This is the one I did many years ago, still have it, pretty cute sea world theme I was playing it just the other day



    It was real nasty when I got it
