    Default Restored and modded vintage Sumo Nishijin

    This is the machine from this thread:
    https://www.pachitalk.com/forums/sho...highlight=sumo

    I decided to do a total makeover and in the process made many, many mistakes and learned so, so much (and lost some pieces.)

    Went with a "Summer fireworks" kind of theme with an oil paint brushwork sealed with bowling-alley grade urethane. Hand painted the spinners and many of the payoff parts. Reworking the electrics was not fun.

    You may recall the door broke in half. The challenge I gave myself was to use only what was already in the studio and not buy anything, so that's why you have the makeshift appearance of the back. Lots of lipstick on this one.
