Kiss Full 3-Stage Pinball Restoration Update 1979 Bally

Posted: February 14, 2022

If you want to follow this tear-down/restoration from the start you would need to visit Absolute Pinball on facebook.
I no longer post on that site, all future updates can be found here, under “Blog”.
At this point with Kiss the cabinet has been stripped, sanded, bodywork completed, and it’s ready for re-paint.
The head is being completed first.
Through the series of photos you will see that the stencils do not always peel off smoothly, and fine brush touch-ups are sometimes required.
Once both secondary colors are applied to one side, it is covered, and the other side is done.
Once both sides are complete, the touch-up are done, then the complete head is unwrapped, and receives five layers of acrylic enamel clear coat, to protect the paint finish from dings, and scratches.
The clear also adds a high degree of shine, providing a wet look.
A new playfield will be installed, once the cabinet is done.
The best color match for the red is Chevy Red/Orange.

Thank you...thank you...thank you for the Galaxy pinball machine!!!! A couple of friends of mine set it up this past weekend and it's fantastic!!! Whoever packed it for shipment did an outstanding job!! We are having the best time playing it. In fact the first night it was set up, I couldn't sleep so I went downstairs at 2:00am and played a bunch of games.

I contacted Devron to service and repair my 1977 STARS pinball machine, Devron was easy to contact and was waiting when I arrived. He is very knowledgeable and completed all the repairs he was asked to. Devron contacted me prior to making any extra repairs we didn't originally agree on, until he started to work on the machine and determine what was needed. The machine has been used every week since the last year and works excellent. Devron has a true passion for his work and I found the rates reasonable.

I was researching pinball machines when I found one of Canada's smartest techs and old school pinheads right here in Saskatoon. Devron's passion for this hobby goes well beyond just a business. He successfully coached me to fully repair and restore my first ever restoration, the magnificent Firepower. I also brought a fully restored Harlem Globetrotters and a unique Skateball for my next restoration. Devron helped me re-live my youth! All my buddies love coming over and we get old school for the night. Devron's service and support also allowed me to successfully take my new collection home to Australia and he continues to help me keep these great pieces of history alive even over such a great distance. You will not go wrong talking to Devron about your pinball or gaming machine needs!

Hello! I wanted to let you know I unpacked and set up Hurricane, and it is in beautiful condition, and working wonderfully! You did a magnificent job on the pallet/crate, and it arrived in great condition. It is currently set up in my living room, and playing it takes me back. Thanks! Pleasure doing business with you.

I was satisfied with Devron's services. His prices are reasonable and he is very knowledgeable. I bought a circus pinball machine from him two years ago. He has done an excellent job of refurbishing this machine. I can phone him anytime when I need questions answered or need to tweak my machine. He is always happy to help me. I would definitely buy another machine from him. I highly recommend him to others.
