I have only 2 pins at home. A Williams Swinger and a Williams Fun Fest, both working. At the Allentown 2017 Pinfest, I was able to pick up a (almost complete) Fun Fest cabinet. My reasoning was, just to have an inventory of assorted mechanical and playfield parts readily available for both my pins. Once I got everything removed from the cab and PF, I thought, let’s see how this PF cleans up. What can I lose I don’t really need it and it would be a good time to apply some of the “tricks” or methods of cleaning a PF on this one.

I first gently cleaned the PF with Windex and a microfiber cloth to get the layers of dust and dirt off. I then gently used Alcohol, Novus 2 and ME to get the rest off. That worked very well.

The PF also had 5 adhesive mylar bumper protectors. I used the “Freeze” method and plastic blade to initially remove the mylar. That worked like a charm. Now to remove the residual glue, rubbing alcohol and flour made it very easy.

So now, I think I’ll try my skills on PF repair and touch up…

Any quick suggestions before I continue. Before and After pics below.

thanks
Steve

Looks good! I'm a little jealous... that one is nicer than mine.

Looks a little better than the pf on my game. Have the same paint loss areas of course and mine still has the mylar bumper protectors. But mine looked far better than yours when I bought it. Very good work on the clean up.
