What should I use to clean the underside of the clear window?

#2 8 years ago

Novus 1

#3 8 years ago

I used some canned air to blow out any dust particles and then a little bit of Novus 2.

#4 8 years ago

So windex and soft cloth is a no go?.

#5 8 years ago

Novus 1 with a micro fiber towel or old tee shirt.

I can't see how it would hurt to try. Although I prefer ammonia free glass cleaners on pinball machines. And make sure to avoid getting the wood around it wet.

That's what I would use.

AC/DC How to clean the underside of Hell?

Five "Our Fathers", seven "Hail Mary's" and ten "Saint Michael's Prayers" should about do it.

Grit

#2 is a polishing compound
#1 is just a cleaner

Ok how does one remove Hell for cleaning?

Check manual... mini playfield is hung by a few screws/brackets and can be removed as a unit.

4 or 5 screws and around 8 molex connectors. Petty easy to remove / re-install

#16 8 years ago

I would assume that the top (playfield) should only require waxing?

#17 8 years ago

I just did this. I didn't need to disconnect the molex connectors. If you're REALLY gentle about it, the lower PF will hang down and allow you to clean the glass, PF, and flippers. I was even able to replace the rubbers when it was hanging. I used Novus 1 followed by Novus 2 (lightly!). But I really think you can just use a vinegar-based cleaner under there.

I don't know how others here feel, but I wouldn't wax the window at all. Wax around it if you must. For AC/DC, I just used Wizard's Mist 'n' Shine, which gave it a gloriously slick surface but didn't dick up my window.

#18 8 years ago

Did you spray the mist n shine on a towel or directly on the window?.I think I will take the whole thing out.I was thinking of cleaning and waxing the mini Playfield also.And hit the window while I am in Hell.

#19 8 years ago

I did it on the microfiber because I didn't want to chance overspraying the electronics. On the main PF, you can spray directly.

// Error: Image 412568 not found //// Error: Image 412562 not found //^^^Hell is done!.Plus a few mods while I was in Hell.Under Hell,Then 2 floors down from Hell=Floor.

Dropped Hell.Compressed air on window.Norvus 2.Then Turtle wax "Ice" applied on window.Norvus 2.Then Blitz wax for mini playfield.
Also colored screws and washers to Red.
Super bands on mini flips and posts.i.e mini flipper bands are a bitch to get on.So,microwave each band for 5 secs.Then,It's easy

Relocated the middle left red led down to plastic.To match right side.That always bothered me.

Then under Hell.Stern Stand Up Target Splints from Mezel Mods.They are yellow in the pics.Splints go on tight.Targets will always be straight.

I will let everyone find all the rest of the candy!

Looks great, nice work!

I'm overdue to do this cleaning myself. thanks for starting the thread.

#23 8 years ago

My hell is also getting a bit dirty from all the fire and brimstone. Well overdue for a good cleaning and tweaking. Those stand up target splints look pretty interesting. I'll have to check them out as I am having issues with the targets registering all the time.

By the way, since we're talking about the window to hell let's talk about the basement of hell. Does anybody have a line on getting a Luci hell playfield? I really like the looks of that playfield and would consider swapping mine out if I could find one.

#24 8 years ago

Is there a difference on the Luci Hell Playfield? I am not at home to check.

#25 8 years ago

As far as I know it is just the art. The Luci has some sexy girls in the corners by the flippers.
