Space Invaders pinball by Bally 1980

We picked up this 1980 Bally "Space Invaders" pinball with instructions to just shop it out but don't go too far.  The customer knew it looked bad but said he wanted it done anyway.  Well, the playfield paint was gone over most of the center area. This challenged Maggie and Kerry, so they insisted on painting it, even if we did not get paid extra for the work.  The original "before" pictures are at the bottom of this page.  You can see we try our best to get the games to look good, even those that should have been sold for parts.  Hopefully this brings the value of this pinball up enough to let it live a long life.

The Service notes follow:

09/13/2013 21:58:10  Re: Space Invader pinball. Stripped playfield of all parts. Using several coats of rejuvenation fluid (CP-100) to get the playfield looking like wood and paint again. Found 1 flipper paddle broken and the wrong type paddle on lower left - ordered all 4 paddles. Found all 4 top bumpers partially melted (bent)causing bumper skirts to lean right too far - ordered new ones. Parts order e.t.a middle of next week. Next we will be painting (as best we can) the center area of the playfield to protect it from falling apart.
