I am waiting for them to arrive but I bought them from

www.pinballdecals.com

I had already ordered and received a decal for the backboard (there isnt any decal on the TZ there, so cant make a comparison), but it seems to be of very good quality. I'd read a number of forum articles from pinball owners in the US who appeared to be very happy with this company.

Ok, thanks everyone. The status:

I have everything out of the machine and all labelled up. That wasnt so bad, and I've taken pictures and written up notes, so think that putting it back together should be ok.

I now have two empty cabinets to work on. I have removed the decals on the top cabinet and one side of the main cabinet.

Side rails are off and ruined, but that's ok, as new ones were on order !

Next is to reomove some glue, start sanding, fix any holes, lacquer, sand again, lacquer again, sand again.

Finally, I've been recommended to undercoat both cabinets in black for a TZ.

Stellan and I are in conversation, and I will ask them to service the machine when I am done to make sure that all is ok.

Thanks for all advice. Any more tips greatly appreciated, especially for getting good new edges on the cabinets..ie best way to make good with wood filer !!!!

Many thanks

Luke

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

Thank you, Stellan and I are speaking, but they are mostly on the electronics side. If anyone knows anyone who has any experience of doing this I would be most appreciative.

Thanks

Does anyone know a company or person in the Stockholm area who specialises in cabinet restoration?

I have a TZ that I want to have new Decals put on, but I dont trust myself to do all the work!

Many thanks

Luke
