This is my first SS game (Supersonic). We have about 300 games on it since I resurrected the game. I cleaned and waxed again at about 150 games. Now that I'm at 300, it looks like I have to clean again. I have black marks on my rubbers, the targets are developing a dirt line and the flipper rubbers are really dirty. Compared to my two Bally EMs, this game gets dirty quick. It has a new ball and was cleaned really well when the playfield was bare. I cleaned sling mechanisms, replaced coil sleeves, clean pop bumper rings, etc. Am I missing something or is this normal?

I never thought I would have 3 pins, so I'm excited. Just trying to keep them clean and good quality player's machines.

One other thing, I use Naphtha to clean the rubbers. I also lightly use Naphtha to clean the drop targets on my Air Aces. They are the original targets and in decent shape. The Naphtha doesn't affect the target symbol. Can I use Naphtha on Supersonic drop targets. They were already replaced when I got them, so I'm not sure where they were purchased. They are not tombstone style.

Thanks.

Thanks guys. So I looked and I now have 500 games, not 300. The kids are playing this machine like crazy.

Tom, I did clean all the places you mentioned and more. I did not rebuild the flippers or sling assemblies. However, I did tear them down and clean everything and adjust. I did have new coil sleeves and installed them.

I just feel like the game gets dirtier quicker. Maybe it's because the kids are racking up games faster than normal!
