Quoted from TenaciousT:There is a really nice one at MPE this year !
Not the one with the vinyl sticker applied over the mylar in front of the slingshots, I hope.

Rock them back and forth until the hole elongates a little
Put an old credit card to protect the playfield, and gently lift with a mini pry bar.
Be very careful if Atari games have a little barb at the end of the wires - I can't remember if they do or not.
#A2913 part number at PBR
Or you can bend a standard long arm socket backward and make your own Laydown.
You will find many Atari parts are only Atari parts and thus no one has made reproductions in 30 years.
Quoted from Spyridon:Cleaned up all the wire harnesses today. I'm definitely looking into a large ultrasonic for the next one.
Just put them in the dishwasher, they come out super nice.
Quoted from thedefog:Great advice, gonna do this with my pinbot harness tonight.
Don't leave any plates or glasses in the same load, because there could be some lead on the wires.
Cut most of the zip ties, and put new **loosely** zipped zip ties to keep the harness in place.
Once the harness is dry, you can zip all the ties tight again.

You can do circuit boards too, but don't put relays or sockets through the cycle, because dishwasher soap contains fine sand (dissolve it through a coffee filter if you don't believe me).
Most wiring is rated for 160*F prolonged use.
Solder melts at ~400*F.
So I don't think any household dishwasher is going to damage anything. My dishwasher has a "sani-cycle" that claims to hit 170*F if I want to really cook my germy plates.
You probably have a button to turn off the dry cycle if you want.
Quoted from Pahuffman:I was also wondering about this. If you had a short harness, like those found on a chime unit, could you put the whole harness in the dishwasher with the coils still attached? Would it be better to desolder and detach the coils?
I've put coils in the dishwasher.
Just warm up and remove the labels first.
