Author Topic: yet another verni resto: HELI FIRE (Read 10559 times)

after more or less one year HELI FIRE PCB works so I decided to restor the cocktail

coin door had been broken and all the cocktail has been damaged all around the coin door edges.
first of all I decided to repair the hole, then I rebuilted the coin door much more similar to the original I was able to
everything has been painted

the "brown" I used is a little bit different to the original, I have the w.e. in order to think what to do: look for another color or paint everything with this new color. It is more omogeneous and a little bit darker.

nice, marco, what did you do with the scracthed coin insert plate? is that a new one or did you polish the old one?

The insert plate has been painted with a special spray "chrome effect"

how close it that to the original look? i have a few scratches plates myself, but never found a spray close to the original. and unfortunately, getting original parts these days is difficult, because they manufacturer doesn't deal with private persons anymore

nope, unfortunately not! his supplies have almost dried out, i got the last plates from him, but now they are gone - and i would still need a few. it's a shame i didn't "enter the nintendo cab business" earlier, otherwise i would have ordered more ..

as i've said before: they just look different when painted, although i'd love to see some closeup shots of marco's plates!

Someone with a business in the US should be able to jump in this hole.....I know I would....maybe TOG ?

This spray is good for small parts. I used it for my superbreakout coin door too. You need a lot of try to dry it but the result is not bad
