Having to Paint that Playfield Would Break my Brain. My Hats off to you Guys you do good work!
Amazing painting skill. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you Kent!
Good morning Professor Ron. An Artist and his canvas . Thank for taking the time to record these wonderful videos . There good for the brain. Have a great day, Professor.
No happy little clouds people come on now people 😴💤😁
The color was a little off but then I hit it with the clear coat and it yellowed it up slightly, looked pretty damn close when it was all said and done, thank you for watching Dano!
No clouds in site, just sun and 90+ . Hello from southwest Washington , were all going to melt. @@naytch2003

Hi all, great job on that repair. I didn't think it would turn out that good but your the man!!! lol. I LOVE Firepower, here in Australia these machines go for stupid money, and that's if you can find one. So many memories of this and a few others you have shown us. Really enjoy the videos thanks for posting them.
Thank you Darren, see you on the next one!
I love your videos! I can't speak for everyone else, but when you are doing fine detail work like repainting, I'd love to see that included in the video. Just put your camera on a tripod and work away. Same for soldering and other work on the electronics. Technique is king.
Always love your playfield touch ups.......very therapeutic viewing,..and FirePower what a fast paced addictive game ! Thank you guys x
Thank you Saskia!
Excellent touch-up job Ron.
Thank you Andy!
Those classic Williams sounds were reused on other games, but why not they are iconic and superb.
Every time I hear them I start looking for a Defender or Star Gate game to play.
@@wackyworldofwindios3476 were they used on Robotron too? I don't think Joust used them, but I've not played that very much
Outstanding work as usual Ronnie. What a great machine this is. The owner should be very happy with it now. The playfield turned out great. Thanks for posting.
Thank you Mark…
Joe was kicking that machine in the ribs for a while. Way better than me on that machine. Seems to me like every target in that game is angled straight down the middle. Ya !! I hit it .. ploink... right between the bumpers every time. It's always one of those super speed flipper shots where the ball screams up the playfield and comes back twice as fast. Super lucky on the red right out of the bottle. I love that feeling. BTW The artist that drew the planet is probably insane now. It had to be miserable getting all of the shapes and colors balanced and then trying to get the shadow right. I guarantee he is in the looney bin. Nice work !
Thank you for watching Irieman442 I'm glad you enjoyed it! See you on the next video!
@@LyonsArcade Fo Sure!!
Great paint match Ronnie. Multi Ball on Firepower is tuff but when you do get it, it's one great light show. That one pop bumber beatup that one side really good. Thanks for filming Ronnie, see you on the next video.
Thank you for watching Frank!!!
What an awesome machine, came out beautiful and man are those pop bumpers violent, absolutely love it.
Thank you for watching Lee!
Awesome, this, Alien Poker and Black Night were early 80's classics from Williams,
Thanks for the great trouble shooting on this one and the reward - game play!
That machine ate so many of my quarters in the 80s, and it's such a fast game. You're either out in less than 30sec with those center shots that rebound right back down the throat, or you get a game like that last one.
Cool game. Them pop bumpers are snappy boy lol
I'm content with the machine I own, but I really like this one too. Great sights, action, and sounds! Nice work as always Ron.
Thank you Beavis!
Amazing work, Ron! Thanks for sharing 👍
thank you Serg for watching!
Cripes! Only just finished yesterday’s and we’re off again! Epic Ron! Drops the logic probe and picks up the paintbrush.
Here we go!
Happy Monday, Ron!!
Happy Monday!
It's Tuesday people come on now 😉
One of my favorite pins, it got many of my quarters back in the day. I finally managed to score my own Firepower a couple of months ago and still love it!! Thanks JCVG!
Thank you Rigmaster1!
Great
OK almost didn't need re touck. When done can't find the retouch ...brilliant.
Best work is not obvious when done....Nice
Thank you Jason we thought it came out pretty good
Thanks
Thank you Endstart!
You have made great job on tuchup😎👍
Great Job Sir.
I used to be a color matcher at a paint factory.... Your color matching wasn't half bad, for an amateur.
The repair on the left side, was really first rate. If you didn't know it was there??? Really good. Great job on that one. On the right side, you could have come in with a few more of the blue straight lines, just to "blend" a little.... pretty good though.
Overall, really good. Looked like a super fun machine.... Well done.
What touch up? i think that turned out really well considering the design. Great looking and sounding machine . Remeber playing it many times. Nice to hear Matt again😃
Matt still comes around from time to time
Love the videos. Keep up the good work.
The Who's Tommy Pinball Wizard by Data East has a really good multi ball feature on it - and its not too difficult to activate. I bet you already know this though :D Great work on the repair - especially the paint job Ron!
When I saw those two areas by the slingshots, I was sure you would shy away from that as being too complex. I guess the beauty of a seemingly random pattern is if you just go with the jist of it nobody will notice. And, the early days of solid state, when they had the score displays count up just like score reels as they were afraid of changing too much all at once.
Ronnie, what was the issue with the Lane change in the end? Sorry if I missed it in the video. Keep up the good work. Your videos are the best thing on the entire inter web thing. Regards
It was just the switch wasn't touching on the flipper, that circuit is very simple, they just added a switch to the flipper to make it activate when it pulls in. Someone (if I'm remembering correctly) had replaced it on this machine but didn't get it adjusted right. Thank you for watching James, glad you enjoyed it!
If you added white stipple to the right side it would match almost perfectly.
JOE CLASSIC< for all pinball games the "Trough switch" is always NC Normally Closed? What other switches in pinball games are NC normally closed?
Hi, what a great video, I have a question, after painting do you put something over the paint? like mylar or lacquer?
Yes we clearcoat it with just rattle can clear. We use Satin, seems to match the original finish very well.
@@LyonsArcade Thank you very much, your videos have helped me a lot!! I am 16 years old and I am restoring a Williams Time Warp that has a lot of little problems that I am solving by searching the internet.
Good day, great videos. I noticed the two firepower have different inserts' for the power targets. This one your working has red and the other, like mine has blue. how different are the SN of the pins?
Unfortunately I don't have them in anymore so I'm not positive, sorry... they made a TON of them though!
"Turpentine" is what was used to clean paint brushes when oil based paint was the only option
That’s it thank you BC!
I use the testors hobby enamel for touch ups. If its a large area like around the pop bumpers ill put mylar down over it. If it's just a small area I follow it up with some of the testors gloss coat clear, then just clean and wax the playfield like normal
I haven’t tried the enamel yet
@@LyonsArcade there's not as many colors to pick from, and color matching can be more difficult, but I find the enamel dries a much harder and more durable paint
Sharpies are good for some things but I wouldn't do art projects with them!
Black markers in particular aren't really black; they're more dark violet.
When they wear over time, they go "purple." I've seen this happen in old marker drawings.
Markers in general I don't think are a good archival medium. If you hang up drawings on the wall, gravity can cause them to drift by capillary action and you'll have a problem of smearing in addition to color shifting.
Paints are more stable.
I kind of wonder about digital. That really depends on software and the settings of the hardware an image is displayed.
It's an issue with films and restoration. They've had DVDs, Blu rays, and 4K Blu rays of the same movie that has widely different colors based on who regrades the colors for a particular master of a film! There are earlier DVD and Blu ray editions of films that look better than later 4K remasters. Seven Samurai is better on Blu ray that 4K. Some people think the earlier Blu ray releases of Ghostbusters 1 and 2 look better because the color is more saturated in those editions.
Stipilated half-tones in the nacho basket... I'm sure it will all start making sense in the near future.
I can attest that waxing over paint touch ups will take the paint RIGHT OFF. I spent 2 hrs. touching up my Black Knight only to have all the small touch ups simply wipe away the next time I waxed it. COME ON PEOPLE....listen to Ron.
Come on now Paul you gotta cle... you gotta clear coat it Paul, come on now
I've cleaned an area of a playfield with lighter fluid because it was really dirty. Id imagine rubbing alcohol would get wax off too
They say that’s what naptha is!
How red is your orange? or how orange is your red? and that's VERY passible. if you weren't looking for it, you wouldn't see it.
I did want to ask, is there a suggested color code for a DK brown cabinet and white/cream top? I haven't seen anything properly suggested for it.
Yodelayheehoo
Hello Lil Everette!
Heh... I'm looking at the playfield now and I'm realizing that ball/planet is a Death Star rip-off! 😆This is basically an unlicensed Star Wars pinball machine! 🤣
Oh, how they had NO SHAME in "homaging" popular films and TV shows back then. Make it "50% different" and you don't play a license fee! 😂
That and Stellar Wars were "inspired" by Star Wars. 😉
