    Default Restored Vintage Mizhuo

    Here's a couple of pictures of a Vintage Mizhuo that I just finished restoring.

    Started out removing everything on the back of the machine, cleaned and polished all the plastic parts.

    Removed the lower ball tray/ashtray assy, cleaned and polished

    Cleaned and polished the front chrome.

    Cleaned and polished the playfield

    Cleaned and polished all the ball paths

    Only glitch was one of the spinners had a broken nail so I removed the nail, pulled a nail from another machine and reattached the spinner.

    Total time spent on the restoration about 15 hours

    The playfield was cleaned with a Pica Cell Cleaner, the top of the nails were cleaned with a metal polish, buffed off and then another cleaning with brasso, then I went over the entire Cell again with the Cell cleaner, to get any extra metal polish off the nails and buff the cell up just a little more. (any excuse to use a power tool)
