I will be posting the step by step later, I need to write it all up with photos. Untill then what do you think, is using car wrap material the way to go?

They look great! Are the date labels printed or did you cut around the originals making a window in the wrap?

The date labels are printed and you can still read them, but I am going to cut out the original expiration sticker and attach it to the back of the machine.

I cut out the original date labels, used double sided sticky tape and placed it over the printed one. It looks good to me.

Nice Job!

Thanks for the great step-by-step! I'm interested in replacing my playing field with one of the new ones available online. After watching your presentation I must ask, is it necessary to disassemble the machine as far as you did, such as removing components from the back side, just to replace the playing field graphic? Rather than just a Yes or No answer, I would appreciate any advice you may feel appropriate? As far as I can tell, my machine is a 1968 Nishijin.

First to Pachitalk!

You do have to remove the back mechanics. As many components cover the nail heads that you have to remove in order to replace the playfield. Also you will inevitably end up dropping something into one of the holes on the front and then the only way to get it out is to remove the mechanics. Lastly it doesn't make much sense to go through and replace the playfield and still have the mechanics all filled with slime (trust me they are dirtier than they look).

Also post some pictures of your machine when you get a chance. We'll be able to tell you almost anything you want or need to know about it.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. And once again welcome to PT.

You will also need to get to the cotter pins from the back, that hold the ball track on the front of the playing field. So it can be removed before background artwork can be replaced.

Or you can replace them with 18ga. stainless steel safety wire. Loop it through, twist, pull & staple to backer. Then I smear wood glue over it so the wood kinda conforms around it.
