These are the jobs I LOVE. Doing a playfield off of a pin that not many care about, but would love if they tried.

Stern Galaxy.

McMean contacted me a long time ago stating he hd a spare Galaxy playfield that was very rough and wanted to have done. I said why not.

It was VERY rough. Dry-cracked all around the center, missing inserts, wood damage, heavily worn in a few spots, and many colors were faded or completely off like all blues were now green and all the white was tobacco-stained-ancient-off-white.

38 hours of work, 75% repaint and 11 coats of clear later, it is reborn. Here are some before and after pics:

What a difference. And yeah... I know I didn't paint the orange rubber schematic back on. Most consider those to be ugly...

... and finally, no product is ever complete until it is your own. Enjoy, Daniel!

And now my playfield focus will solely be on Tuborg's Viking, Tinyrodent's Seawitch, Pete's Mata Hari, Underachiever's High Speed and Mr.Niceguy's Silverball Mania.

Boys, expect the same results.
