Quoted from zimjoe:

I hope to get this one on the line up soon. I'll post progress pictures here.

Awesome!!! So glad you'll be posting about this publicly. Following!

Quoted from zimjoe:

A dirty, dirty playfield.

Quoted from zimjoe:

My phone is cheap and takes marginal pictures.

1) No more talking with BingoPodcast about photography techniques. 2) It also helps to stop spinning before you take the picture.

Quoted from zimjoe:

I'm trying to find the middle place between getting the grime off and taking the paint off. There is also a little missing paint.

FWIW, here are some of my findings with "Magic Eraser" or melamine foam.

Really helped me with my playfield cleaning! ...but read up on it, as it's basically like very fine sand paper. So use it *gently* and check your progress often. GOOD LUCK!!!

Quoted from pinhead52:

Ive got spare contact pieces, let me know what you need

This place is just the coolest. Kudos to pinhead52.

Sorry I missed you last weekend, Zimjoe. Would have been great to put a face with your name. Good luck on this project. Have you managed to locate any additional spinners?
