That's an incredible restoration, and that's one of the best games to play in a cocktail cabinet I can think of.

Cheers, it took some time sourcing the parts but it was worth it!

Lovely restoration Mike.

My Warlords cocktail is kind of in between those two extremes. Did you
find a good drop in replacement for the potentiometers? I have one that works but
rolls over the end "stops", that I'd like to replace.

That Warlords resto is amazing! Very nice work.
Don't think I know the game, (but will be looking it up now)
How did you manage the rusted areas?

Thanks. I sent the big bits of metal work away to be sandblasted then powder coated. I did the bolts etc using a drill with a carbon steel wire drill bit then sprayed them with Hammerite.

I see, proper job then! Very nice.

Blood hell! Great job on the Warlords resto, mate!

Awesome Warlords Resto, is there a thread detailing the progress on it, how did you get that glass looking so nice?

 

[petercasino]

Sorry, had intended to do a thread but then completely forgot to take photos as I was going along! I bought the repro glass from the states (don't remember the name of the company). Got the artwork from Pheonix arcade and the spinners, loom and pretty much everything else from the States. Took a spare suitcase with me on holiday last year whilst visiting family!
