I purchased a Back To The Future Pin a few weeks back and when I picked it up it was in pretty darn good shape! Cabinet was almost in perfect condition, and nothing major on the playfield or backglass. I noticed about half of the incandescents were burned out so I decided to upgrade the whole machine to LEDs. While removing many of the playfield parts, I noticed things were much dirtier than I had thought, which led to a complete teardown of the playfield for a deep cleaning, polishing, and wax!
This is my first Pin...and first time doing anything related to pinball machines. After much of your help on Pinside, I decided to take the plunge and get started. I have documented much of this process and thought I would share. Also did some pretty cool mods after I was all done!
This post contains the before pics...before LEDs and before any cleaning.
Enjoy!
