Three of the best


Now you can't tell me that these aren't three of the nicest machines from the Bally Bingo catalogue!

Was it worth it...?


Well judge for yourself...

The playfield...


A lot of work went into trying to get this right but after rubbing the woodwork down and varnishing it, Chris took the executive decision to use one of Chris Dade's marvellous playfield overlays. looking at it, it has to have been the right decision..it looks great.

It's all coming together...


Check out the door of the cabinet and the nice new Red and Yellow bezels round the buttons and the coin return slot. All lovingly prepared and and finished.

But not finished yet...


Now there's all the work to do on the woodwork. The woodrails, the wooden bars on the head holding the backglass in place, the footrail and also installing the bright, shiny NOS buttons that I got from Wayne, the Duke of OK in America.

The cabinet...


Has been stripped down, a base coat applied and then repainted using stencils and matching colours as near to the originals as possible...again scroll back for the 'before' and 'after' comparison

Isn't that lovely...


Now you need to scroll back and check out what it was like in its original condition...then you can begin to appreciate the work that's gone into getting it to this condition
