Ultra Shuffle Alley V

I've moved the machine in to the basement now.  At this point, I have the legs, coinbox and button cover plate over to my friend for sand blasting.  Interestingly, while giving him the parts, we discovered that the legs were originally chrome plated.  Somewhere along the line, the legs had been painted.  It's unlikely that I will be able to get them re-chromed.

A discussion with my brother brought out the proper paint for all the metal parts.  I'll be painting them with a hammer tone paint and it should come out looking vintage.

The following are some photos of it in its current state:

Pin hood with the pin plate removed
Another with the pin plate removed
The return bumper with the cover removed
On the left side you can see that the bumper has slipped out of the metal tie down strap.  This is why the puck bounces up when thrown down the right side of the lane.  I have since disassembled, cleaned and reassembled the bumper system correctly.
Here's the fixed up bumper
A look down the lane from the back of the machine near the bumper
A look down on the trigger levers from the left side.
The lane markers all cleaned up
A closeup of the cleaned marker lights
Gotta love the graphics!
