Update on mine. It will not be restored all the way. For now it will be fixed up to play. I would love a Bart sticker instead of painting. I touched it up today. A bit more to do. Luckily much of the touch up areas are hidden after assembly. I wanted to tear it down, clean, fix the corner and then I’ll order needed parts.

Trying to figure out if they are original or not. I feel like they've been added. I have one on each side. The playfield diagram does not show them, but can't really go by that since it's not exactly accurate. It also doesn't show the bumper between flippers. IPDB photos appear to show holes on both sides but no post. The playfield diagram in my book appears to show a mark for it on the right but not on the left, and no number.
Mine has posts there also.

Got mine up and running. Recapped the PS Board, Leg braces / Corner Glue, LED's 184 of them!!, Touched up the paint.
Made some aluminum pieces the same shape as the plastics that usually break and put them underneath the new plastics (Ay Caramba, and Drops)
I had reset issues. I reflowed the solder on the PS connectors and the battery area. So far so good......hopefully it does not get flaky again.
Currently I am working on decals for Bart and Moe. I am not good at painting.
In the future I will decal the cabinet and paint the legs, lockdown bar, coin door.
I am on the lookout for the upgraded cooling towers, much easier to remove and service.
Re capped the sound board today. Humming is almost totally gone.
Game works good now and no issues.
Can't say the same for my Firepower......Put in new IC sockets and now it wont boot, probably going to buy aftermarket boards for that one.

Update on mine....
I replaced all the speakers and now I have no more humming. I can hear some slight sounds that I could not hear before (sounds you are supposed to hear)
The 4" Speakers required some spacers and the subwoofer is upgraded to 8". I just used the same cabinet hole for the subwoofer.
Pyle PLG4.2
GRS 8SW-4 8" Poly Cone Subwoofer 4 Ohm
12V Low Pass Speaker Subwoofer Crossover for 8 Ohm or 4
So future upgrades
Side art
Ramp Powder Coat
Paint lockdown and side rails
I really like this game!

Quoted from oconnorclast:SR230CC Hi there, total noob here, just got this one as my first pinball machine ever Would love to do this upgrade. Was it as simple as it seems? Like, all you had to do is remove the existing speakers, put in the new ones, & clip in the wires?
I noticed you said you needed "spacers." Me being noob-y, I dunno if I should be looking for something specific before I start the swap-out, or if spacer just means "put something between the speakers and the machine..."
Thanks for any help!
It was easy except for the backbox speakers. The cone protrudes further than the mounting holes. So I had to make spacers so that there was enough space to the speaker grill. If you look at my picture you can see the wood I used. You could get spacers, but the threaded studs in the speaker panel are not long enough to mount the spacer and the speaker (maybe barrel nuts could work). That is why my speakers are rotated slightly. Spacer mounted to the panel then speaker to the spacer. You could also 3D print a solution. If all this is too much, you can find different 4 Ohm speakers that are flat.

I am having reset issues. I thought I had it fixed and then it happens after the game has been on for awhile.
I installed inkochnito bridge board.
Replaced CN1
Replaced some diodes I thought were issues.
PS and Sound all new capacitors.
Restarts sometimes when I press start button.
Is there another connector that could be bad? If so does anyone have a list of replacement connectors? This is getting frustrating.
Thanks
Quoted from alexmogil:I've seen people with Cliffy-like protectors for the Krusty Ramp. Are those available anywhere or does another ramp protector fit, maybe?
I am also interested in this.

Quoted from Boof-Ed:I’ve got a NOS playfield that I may be able to get scanned if anyone wanted? Something that wouldn’t need too much work to print I guess.

That would be awesome! I could make some overlays for a couple areas of mine.

Quoted from Boof-Ed:I’ll send him hi res pics of my NOS playfield I have hanging on my wall. [quoted image]
Is there a scan available for this playfield? I need to make a decal for between the flippers on mine.
