Currently working on the restoration of my Lido. The cabinet is returned to its original painted drawing and first I begin to assemble of all refurbished metalparts. After that the technical inside has to be done what of course will take some time . Here a first picture of the bingo as it stands now. Later more...

Last weeks spent my free time with something different, making a new backglass for an old pinball machine. A friend of mine has a restored Williams' Struggle Buggies " but with a poor backglass, when he did his request I started making a new backglass, for me it was a new challenge to do more and better learn to go with my drawing-program. Making the digital file proved to be a very time consuming thing but when the design was finished after many nights of reconstructing. I could look back on an educational period. I was even a possibility for me to print the file at a new printshop not far away from here and if this company can make the right color / quality print we like than it makes things a lot simpler for me because our prinshop we normally go to is much further away by car.
The colors and quality the printshop delivered were exactly what we like so that was already the first profit. After we put the print on a 5mm glass the end result was truly amazing and I can therefore look back on a successful project.

It has taken some time but finally finished, the new website is now online.
Hope this innovation is for the visitor to make it more attractive to learn about the things I make for Bally's Bingo and my hobby.
Soon there will be lots of new pictures / text placed in particular the gallery and my collection but not all photos are ready for publication.
