I notice a lot of you have discoloration between where the Mylar was. Was this from them being in bars with smoke back in the day? Or paint being exposed to the air? When I cleaned up the play field on my F-14 I thought it was film and I cleaned a very very small portion right down to the prime coat. Couldn't get rid of what looked like green film. Damn now I am going to have to head over to the brewery where I keep my machine. This thread gave me the itch to play it.

I think I have a board on the way out. I can handle working on the mechanical parts of my machine. But board work is greek to me. The replay high score just keeps getting lower regardless of how many times it is hit. Also the exit kicker from the middle ramp only fires for multiball, or end of game. If there is a ball in the cradle and another ball gets diverted down the middle ramp the bull wont kick out before the new ball enters the cradle.
Any suggestions? Or is it time for me to call my local pinball handyman?
