Finding a Monster Bash without typical scoop wear is tough, but finding a
NOS Monster Bash playfield is even tougher.  So I decided to repair the area
instead and save myself some money.  Below are some pics of the repair process
which took about two days to repair.  Click on the images below to see the image
in full size.  Completed 3-15-03.  Any questions? Email me at schudel5@yahoo.com

 
   1.  Typical scoop wear around
         kickout.  Note wear below drac
         trac where it says "Monster
         Mosh Pit".

 
 
  2.  Scoop weldment and flasher
          removed. 


 
    3.  Right ramp and most parts
         removed from around scoop
         area.


  
    4.  Added Kerry's protector to
         help protect the hole from
         further wear and to act as
         a mold for the J-B Weld.


 
   5.  Another angle of the protector.


 
    6.  J-B Weld was mixed and applied
         between the protector and the
         playfield and allowed to dry overnight
         using a heat lamp to make sure it dried.


 
    7. J-B Weld sanded down carefully to
        match playfield level.  1000 grit wet/dry
        emory cloth was used to at the final
        stage to make it very smooth.


 
   8.  Scott Gallagher's playfield overlay
        was carefully cut and positioned
        on the playfield.  A template of the
        finished opening was created from
        cardboard and used to cut the overlay
        before affixing the overlay to the playfield.


 
   9.  All finished!  Installed is Kerry's new
        scoop weldment as well.  The colors
        match very well and is very difficult to
        see in person.  The digital camera can
        pick up subtle color differences and can
        be seen in these photos.  So far after a
        year, the overlay has held up PERFECTLY!

*****NOTE!!!!  Scott Gallagher has stated that he is no longer going to
       offer anymore decals once he has run out of what he has printed!!!
       Appparently too many people were complaining that his colors were off?!?!?
