Have a couple of questions about the Doctor Who Mini-Playfield (MPF). Are the wires leading to the MPF motor supposed to have connectors? I got tired of unsoldering and soldering the wires and added a connector, so I could easily remove the MPF from the machine to work on. Has the grease on everyone's MPF become useless too? It took a screwdriver, mean green, scotch brite pad and a lot of rags to remove the old grease. I plan to use silicone lube when I put it back together. I tested the motor with a 12volt battery and it worked in both directions. Hopefully, with new lube it will move freely enough to work again. Got to order some Cliffy protectors before I put the MPF back in.

All the wires going to the MPF should have connectors.

All wires should have connectors as stated.

The grease is terrible. I soaked my metal parts in alcohol for a day, then a wire brush to the grease/metal, and used a small amount of teflon lube. I also replaced the roller bearings, and sanded where they ride smooth.

It was not too bad of a project, and the re-assembly is going smoothly. The hardest part for me was dimpling the new repro PF. I measure everything out about a dozen times before the dimpling. Everything fit well in the end!

After cleaning mine I used garage door silicone spray (a very small amount) and it works beautifully.
