Strip Down – Part 1

It was a slow and laborious process stripping down (shopping) the pinball machine today. My process consisted of

  1. Taking a photo of the part to be disassembled
  2. Disassembling the part
  3. Laying the disassembled pieces on the playfield in their original position (approximately)
  4. Taking a photo
  5. Moving the parts to my graduated background
  6. Taking a photo
  7. Separating the nuts, screws, washers and pillars which need to be cleaned in the tumbler
  8. Putting the remaining pieces in a plastic cup.

Now this wasn’t a quick process and after 8.5 hours I had got this far:

Halfway into the strip down

I’ll hopefully finish this tomorrow
