Fly paper is that really sticky paper strip they used to hang from the ceiling to catch flies in the old days. Ouch!  |

Thanks for your opinions....
Here is my method.
1) I take my balls in my hand, and manipulate them until they are in the right position. 2) I usually focus on one ball at a time, and tweak it to the front position in my hand. 3) Then I apply a nice layer of wax, and massage it all around and over my ball. 4) I let it sit a bit (sometimes in my hand, sometime not) 5) Then I use my hand in a back and forth motion (mostly) to buff the hell out of them. 6) I inspect them, and sometimes find that there is wax on the rag, that transferred back onto my balls 7) If need be, I buff them again until my balls are nice and shiny.
I have also toyed with the idea of using an electric tool on them to buff them better then I could do with my hand - but have not tried this yet.
Do any of you do it differently?
I think you are on the wrong forum.  |

So , i gather that buying mirror chrome pinballs on ebay (less than $2.00 ) is a better option then running them into a tumbler , right ? |

For the amount of time (and electricity!) it takes to tumble balls, at $2 a pop, even owning a tumbler, I buy.
I save it for metal parts. |
