I joined the club last Monday, and ecstatic to have such a classic, top-tier game in the lineup! So far I've ordered Color DMD, Silicone rubbers (all green), LEDs and a flipper rebuild kit. It has bad cabinet fade on one side, so considering radcals but also may just move it to the middle of the lineup

Flipper rebuild complete. I was shocked at the state of the old hardware, and don’t know how the game even flipped before. I’m a relative newbie at tech repair, and hadn’t really looked closely at the flippers, so pardon the obvious red flags.
* Nylon bushing completely broken on left flipper
* Both coil stops held on by one screw, and angled/hanging.
* Coil stops were mushroomed like crazy.

The result from the rebuild is amazing! They are snappy as a modern Stern, and I now realize the game is an absolute butt-kicker. In these images, the new hardware on left, old on right.

Does anyone have a good solution for hotspots on the backbox? Behind the “Attack from Mars” title the bulbs really pierce through the clear surrounding. I’m using all frosted warm 2-SMD bulbs. I consider trying an opaque gel insert, but wanted to ask for any tips first.
