Hours 60-61:
* Ultrasonic'd all the springs and screws (6+12+24)
* Installed new nylon 6-32 lock nuts
* Cleaned off all 6 solenoid plungers
* Reassembled all 6 solenoid assemblies
It's funny, now that all the solenoids and sleeves are really clean, I can "hear" the difference when they fire. There's more of a crisp sound when they activate when they have less resistance from all the black dust.
Now 11/12 solenoid assemblies have been cleaned/polished in prep for the swap. I still clean/polish all the above playfield arms for each solenoid.

I feel like I'm watching a sci-fi movie when I see dangling solenoids
