Shop Notes
We recently had a Sopranos pinball machine come through the shop. Like a lot of other Sopranos, it had suffered some damage to the bottom lip of the fish on the left side of the playfield. Since the part isn’t available, we found our own solution.

The fish in question. Notice the bottom lip is missing, and only a piece of the tongue remains attached to the mechanism.

Here’s a closer look at the innards, after we removed the fish itself.

That’s what the part is supposed to look like. Sold Out!

But we’re nothing if not resourceful! We used some Super Sculpey to model a new lip and tongue.

Make sure to read the baking directions closely!

Fresh out of the oven.

After a first coat of paint.

A working fish! And a Sopranos piece that now functions.

Here’s the Big Boss putting it all back together again.

Here’s the finished, shopped game. What a good-looking pin!
