I guess you could ask Stellan aka Flipperdoktorn (doctor pinball in Swedish) who probably can help you out.

It's not that hard really, read some on the Internet and watch the videos on youtube. And it is recommended that you get a friend to help you out once you apply the decals. Just take your time and don'r rush things.

If it doesn't turn out good, you can buy another set of decals and do it all over again.  I mean instead of paying someone to do it for you. It would cost about the same I guess, less if you get it right the first time (which you most certainly will).

Thanks for all of this. Since positing i've been reading and watching stuff on the web. I feel fairly confident about the cabinet restoration and applying the decals now, but what worries me is removing all of the electronics, the playfield,etc.

Should I attempt to do this (bare in mind, i'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff!) or is this a job for a professional?

Thanks

Luke, just like I said in one of my latest email, the only thing to do is to remove the backbox and the playfield before you begin to work on the cabinet.

If you want to be sure to get all connections in the right place when you assemble the game, just use masking tape on all connections and whte the connection no on each taped connector.

After that, it's just to first disconnect all connectors to the playfield, and lift out the playfield. Next to disconnect is the connectors between the backbox and cabinet, before you remove the backbox.  And when the coindoor has been removed you have an empty cab to work on.

Perhaps you can arrange something with Stellan. Perhaps he can help you with disconnecting and re-connecting all the electronics. And of course getting the playfield out of the cabinet so that you can work on it with ease. That way you would only have to pay for a couple of hours work.

Some years ago I applied new decals, and I would recommend that you put some clearcoat on the cabinet to get the wood as smooth as possible. Even the smallest defects in the wood will be visible through the decals.

But really, as DAH is saying, just mark up the harness and you will be fine. I would also recommend that you use a marker pen to mark up the male and female connectors when they are connected. Draw a random line here and there, and then when you re-assemble you can see immediately if the lines don't match. Just to be safe in case the masking tape falls of. Anyway, if you don't know where a connector goes, you can always ask here or turn to the manual. Just double check, and double check again and then you will be fine.

Out of curiosity, where did you get the decals from?  Do they look good?

I bought some unusable cheap crap from Germany last year, thats why I am asking.
