/\Thanks gtown/\
Here's a great link to a TNT refurb pin- they did a really nice job on this one and I'll use this video as a reference point.
It appears that Medusa uses the same clear targets. Huh, this must be a RARE game! Now I'll sell mine on EBay for thousands! 
Throwing this Pinside link in here for reference:

If they make solid color replacement targets, why not load the mold up with transparent plastic?

Could someone take a hi-res photo of the upper PF from above please! Also, the fingers on the lower PF from above.
I am planning on doing a little "free hand" painting first and if that sucks, I'll do a water decal.
Thanks!

Quoted from Pinmagicman:My biggest challenge lately has been polishing chrome ramps and ball guides. I tried cleaning them by hand but it doesn't take the dark lines and wear out of the centers. So I'm setting up buffing wheels on a 6" grinder and hoping to buff them out with it. I've read a few forum posts about people cutting their hands badly using such a setup. I will be doing the work outdoors soon. Any tips? Would it be safer to screw the ramps to lumber and use a drill-mounted buffer. I have no experience with either setup so far.
Be careful. I used a basic "Ryobi". Just don't angle the edges towards the buff wheel. I wouldn't use any Industrial Shop Buffer. Remember to always buff in the direction that if the Buffer grabs the object, it's not gonna fly in your direction. The big chrome ball trough piece will catch and bend if you're not careful!

Quoted from metalkatt:I'm glad it works for you. Do you have a test button under playfield near that expander board facing towards you? When you do the coil tests, if you push that button during the firing sequence for lower flippers, they should activate once. Let me know what you find out.
I didn't know Elektra's little red button was for that!

Take a look at the photo gallery in this topic. I asked this same question and another pinsider posted photos of his piano wire. Your wire looks like it goes straight down with no bend. The bend needs to go towards the PF. That way, the switch is activated when the 2nd ball is in the trough.
