Title: How to remove button labels on 802 draw and hold
Post by: Jeff99 on August 18, 2011, 02:09:54 AM
Hi,
The 802K which Barry help me identify a few months back is on the work bench.  When I got the machine someone had changed the door to a 742A door.
I finally found a draw and hold door on ebay.  Now I have the proper reel frame, buttons and wiring harness.  Unfortunately the frame needs to be rechromed.

Got the buttons off with no problems and expected the button labels to follow.  Well the lab are actually molded plastic that fits the frame's grooves like a glove.  I need to take
these labels off and save them to reapply.  Has anyone successfully removed these?
Thanks,
Jeff

Heat will soften the glue.
Heat the back side not the plastic
pieces you are trying to remove.

Thanks, a heat gun should do the trick and not mess up the casting.  You wouldn't know what glue Bally used?
Thanks Jeff

No idea what glue they use.
I would use contact cement
as it would stay rubbery for a
long time.

Thanks worked great.  Took a heatgun to the back and they were easy to gently pry up.
