    Default My First Playfield Replacement - New Gin Bright

    Picked this New Gin Bright up back in July, once I started taking things apart to clean it, I realized it had more water damage than I originally thought. With help from Dan Welch YouTube videos and posts on Pachi Talk, I decided to try my hand at a playfield replacement. Stripped the old off, did quite a bit of sanding to address all the high & low spots, then applied 2 coats of polyurethane to both sides. I wasn't able to find the exact playfield, so I picked one that I liked the design and colors, repainted my rusty spinners to match. I replaced the light bulbs with LED's & added a light to the center attraction.
    Interesting side note, this machine didn't have any bells, it has 2 thin, curved pieces of metal that block the openings on both sides of the machine. Thanks to Moparformances & Pachinkoboy.com I was able to purchase a couple bells, but put it back together exactly as I received it, I may go back and add the bells at a later date.
