Page 6 Monster Bash Project
| So with the playfield dimpled and t-nutted and ready for the guts on the bottom we put it down with the wood rails on the edges and drage the guts over to the under side. Then its a matter of screwing everything into the right spot. This is where having another game to look at or lots of pictures really helps. | |
| We have to add our "Famous" monster bash protector . . . | |
| The scoop assembly is completely new as the one that came on the machine was destroyed. This was difficult to locate . . . I'm in the process of making something similar now only with slotted holes to attach to the playfield so the angle can be changed. I like the scoop to put the ball on my left flipper. | |
| After the guts are all on we put the playfield back into the cabinet. Still much to do . . . You can see the old playfield watching on the right. Bill Davis clearcoat makes the playfield shine like a sheet of glass . . . | |
| We put in a brand new coing door and a new start button. New legs and bolts are added also. | |
| One of the things that must be done and takes hours is the cleaning of all the parts. This is very tedious and takes lots of time. Every screw and part on the game is cleaned and polished. Here I'm working on the lockdown mechanism taking all the rust and gunk off. Between this and the two standoff bars I'll bet I spent an hour . . . It takes lots of time to do it right. | |
| All of the cables from the playfield need to be routed back into the backbox. | |
| As you can see there is alot of stuff on the bottom of the playfield. With everything cleaned and polished it all looks new again. | |
| So now we start putting the cleaned parts back on the top of the playfield piece by piece, plastic by plastic adding new white rubbers to really set the game off. | |
| Continuing we build the playfield level by level. Thank goodness we had another game to look at to figure everything out . . . | |
