Jennifers "HOT" new pin....

<< < (27/34) > >>

Nephasth:
You'll typically only find left-hand threaded fasteners on rotating assemblies which might cause right-hand threaded fasteners to come loose during normal operation. Even as a mechanic, it is rare to find left-hand threaded fasteners.

The lightboard was watersoaked mdf and didn't fare well, so rather than just replace it, Jennifer decided to upgrade it some.... The oak was milled down to 1/2", in two pieces and joined together, nothing fancy just some jig work.  (*fun fact, wood has a moisture content, so when milling do both sides to help it dry evenly) The pieces were then cut as to assemble with opposing grain patterns to further help minimize warp.

Ond:
So where is this at now Jenn?  I'm taking an interest in all things pinball, especially restoration.  Though the first few pics are gone from this project, it sounds like you started with some practically unsalvageable item and worked it from there?

jennifer:
This thread is old, And was a butcher victim in Pbjs smart bomb thing, , Jenn was forced to cull pics as to help it load And to make matters worse there seems to be little interest in such a build, I just keep updating it just for my friends that have followed it.... It was in a building that was on fire, and the head was burning before the fire guys got there with the hose, Initially it was going to be a restore, but even new this machine had some shortcomings so Jenn built a new cab. (using jigs like in that last pic) and mostly low end big box store tooling just to show anyone can do this in their driveway on a nice day... The cost got away on me However , and the complexity was a research binge not to be believed. Basically it is a new machine (Still unassembled) with design upgrades and a few mods (Don't judge me, I hate them too, But this machine just needs them to be right)....I will look for a few of the missing pics for you. ;)

Malenko:
I guess we're friends cause Ive been following along from the start.
