Merrimack, NH
Quoted from TXFireBall:I have a '72 Fireball that is in pretty decent shape. I am not rehabbing the 'whole' game, but need/want to do a solid job cleaning and preserving the playfield.
Please, Correct me if I'm wrong or in the wrong order or (Productive) give advice.....
-Remove everything from PF
-Clean with Compressed air, Shop Vac, and Naptha (Carefully w/ Magic Eraser) or should I use 99% isopropyl Alcohol?
-Wax- Carnauba
-install new lights (I got frosted warm white led)
-Install All New bands
-Install New Flippers
-(Basically put everything back together)
(((Any recommendations for cleaning glass, aside from windex, etc.)
Anything to add, or 'must do's'??
Thanks guys[quoted image]
I no longer use alcohol, it eats away at the clear coat. I go with naphta on a rag, maybe on a Magic Eraser on dirtier areas. If you really want to get rid of the ball swirl, alcohol will do it, but you need to be super careful since it does take off the clear coat.
I don't use compressed air, just a good vacuuming. I got a kit used to clean PC's that has some nice attachments to get into all the crevices.
All the other steps you list (LED's, bands, etc) I also do. Cleaning the plastics with Novus-1 will get them nice and shiny too. I also clean all the plastic posts with Krud Kutter, rinse them with water, and then dry them out.
