I'd clean the playfield with novus 2, followed with a coat of wax and get it playing! Personally, I'd hold off on getting the pf cleared/restored until after you've decided the game's a keeper for your collection.
Just my 2 cents!
Quoted from Dodiebird:My bro scored two tables in pretty bad shape that i want to get working and restored. One is Flight 2000 and the other is Skateball. Both were purchased for $140 but are in need of some repair. Flight 2000 just "hums" real loud and all the lights turn on when plugged in. I cant get to tbe boards as I have no key. I know i need to drill out the key hole to get to the boards but then what is my next step? I am a first timer so I am really anxious to get this table in really decent shape but it is going to obviously take a lot of work. Any help would be appreciated. Ill get pics posted asap.
I'd recommend starting a new thread in the early solid-state tech forum here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/forum/tech-early-80s-solid-state
Best of luck with those games!

Have you verified the start button switch is good? You can test it in the switch test (5 presses on the coin door diagnostic switch, you discovered it earlier in this thread). It will come up as 06 on the displays when you push it while in the switch test.
Quoted from northerndude:IT WAS THE CREDIT SWITCH
Ahhhhh!!! That's great! Enjoy the fruits of your labor. Congrats!!
