1975 Gottlieb Atlantis EM Pinball Machine Restoration Part 1/3

In this episode, I fully disassemble the top of the playfield, rebuild the drop target assembly with brand‑new targets, and replace the pop bumpers to the original.

This mini-series documents the full teardown, cleaning, mechanical rebuild, and final tuning of a 50‑year‑old machine that deserves a second life.

In this episode 2, I cleaned the cabinet inside and out, polished all the metal back to a bright shine, and safely encapsulated the original asbestos/lead‑based paint. I also reinstalled the playfield and gave it a full clean and wax to prep it for repopulating the entire top side in the next video.
Atlantis is really starting to come back together as we head into the final phase.
