The Black Knight Rises

Game Restoration,Shop Notes

A good friend of ours got a deal on a Black Knight. Of course, it needed a bit of work. We had to put the cabinet back together, first of all:

BlackKnight1

Someone told us this looked like a barbecue pit.

Dusty figured he’d have to replace the backglass, so we tried our best to make his old one a little better.

BlackKnight2

You’ll notice a slight flaking.

BlackKnight3

Let’s just chip away a little bit here and there.

BlackKnight4

Did we just lose a bat?

BlackKnight5

Well, let’s just scrape it all off. A solid background is going to look better than filling in the blanks.

BlackKnight6

Seal it, then spray it orange. Remember to wear your spray mask, kids.

BlackKnight7

Here’s the orange looking red-hot, but now those spots on the red and blue really stand out…

BlackKnight8

Our artist in residence took a slight hand to the other colors.

BlackKnight9

This backglass rides again.

Here’s a final shot of the rehabbed game:

Good call, Dusty, you saw the diamond in the rough.
