A swap is really the best time to address the entire topside and rebuild all of the mechanical elements. A game like AFM is worth the effort. I would replace as much of the topside as you can:

Posts
Rubber
Plastics
Ramps
Scoops
Pop bumper everything

And under the playfield:

Rebuild all the mechanisms
New coil sleeves
Rubber grommets on solenoid mechanisms
Coil wrappers

Molex connectors are at Great Plains electriconics - the stand-off you can get from McMaster Carr - it’s a standard part.
