Better to remove the target assembly...
Normally I unscrew the coil (need to remove 2 screw), unscrew the plate with the switch (two other screw) and after that the four screw that hold the assembly in place. now you have a free drop target assembly to work with...
After that dissasembled everything and clean everything and reassembled... put it back and voila!

Quoted from rollitover:That is BY FAR the most beautiful Big Game playfield I have ever had the pleasure to see. Not an envious man but I do wish mine were better. Nice machine Red!
Thank's Rollitover
I have a friend of mine who is amazing with touch up and did an incredible job on my big game bonus score card... I did the rest my self. This is the only game in my collection that didn't have a complete clearcoat job... Maybe a project for next winter...
I'm in for the tournement!
3 ball with factory setting is the way to go!
Quoted from Classic_Stern:Your collection is impressive. Keep going.
Thank's Classic stern
I really like this old classic stern game, but i have space for only 10 games... So collection is pretty much done! All the game have clearcoat playfield except Big Game. All have new socket and complete extensive shop job. I have all ready 3 cab restauration done (fathom, iron maiden and stargazer), Flight 2000 is the next one for the cab.

Quoted from zacaj:Temporarily joining the club... Fixing this one up and will probably pass it along to a friend:
Have party this weekend and needed to get ge Z card working quick (X and Y are pretty reliable), so I busted out my soldering iron:
Had a lot of interesting problems, but it pretty much works now...
Two questions though:
1. If I cradle a ball on the lower flipper and then release the flipper to make a shot, the ball gets trapped in a little nook between the upper flipper, the end of the lower flipper and the metal guide, which sits lower than the lower flipper. Is that normal, or are my guides mounted wrong?
2. I tried to put the backglass in, but it's very hard to do because the lower 7 digit displays stick out past the slot for the glass. The holders are mounted on the inside of the insert like they should be, but the glass is still basically touching the displays?
I always put a washer between the holders, that put the display a little farther inside and make and extra protection for the backglass, i did that for all my bally and classic stern!
Quoted from chuckwurt:I'll sell ya my stock ones. Dirt cheap. 60 shipped for the whole set. Haha
I will buy it if you are serious!

Quoted from cottonm4:Done. I put my high score up. Redketchup put up his high score on November 11, 2015. I brought my Big Game home on November 28, 2015.
I was only good enough to play 5 ball games for several months and then switched to 3 ball games and never looked back.It is those little mods that help so much.
Bravo!!!
