Awesome Thread!! Please, the more detail and pics the better!! I have the same project ahead of me, however mine is a basket case without a populated playfield, just a nicely clearcoated CPR replacement and new replacement wiring harness!
Quoted from Mudflaps:They’re called solder lugs. 8 for $1 on pinrestore.

Also a lot of guitar parts places have them also:
Quoted from Mudflaps:Good progress today. Replaced all star posts and polished ball guides, wire frames, etc.
One of the challenges is solving micro-problems related to screw length, bulb size, etc. For example, the Comet LEDs take up more real estate than 555 incandescent bulbs. I added a few washers to clear a plastic.
In another case, I couldn’t source Philips head 6 screws at the right length, so I used the single slot screw. I’ll likely replace them done the road but they serve the purpose now.

Big favor: when you have all the posts placed can you take a pic without any plastics?? That would help me tremendously when I start putting together my basket case Fathom....
Quoted from Mudflaps:Here ya go!
The topside is pretty much done minus the new rails. They should be here any day, so while I wait, I’ll adjust the switches, sand the rollover inserts, finish the zip ties, and anything else left.
I should be ready to plug in this weekend. Hopefully the game doesn’t explode. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
