Quoted from CaptainNeo:that playfield has been restored. Gate area looks great. But the bomb is worn, which has me confused. the center gate has been airbrushed and fixed. Don't know how the bomb would wear if it has been clearcoated.
Looks like it has full l mylar like most have
Quoted from mystman12:Okay, so the optos on the ramp are little bit over sensitive, but they're *much* better than before (It only occasionally triggers when the ball touches the ramp entance), so I guess that's pretty good until I get my hands on a soldering iron so I can reheat it.
As for the plastic, should I just leave the mis-aligned screw out? That plastic is not gonna budge the way it's crammed in there anyways and I'd rather not try to force it and end up cracking the plastic. I'm assuming something else is slightly out of place, but I don't know what...
Anyways, next I'm going to try adjusting the right flipper to a better position, and I want to level the playfield, but...

These legs are pretty rusted, and I'm not sure if they'll budge *and*... I, actually don't know, *how* I'm supposed to adjust these... How do I do that, and is there any hope for cleaning these legs or should I just get a new set?
I wld get some new leg levelers at least but also new legs wldnt hurt lol.

Also if you care about you carpet put something under them for now so the rust dont mark it up.
Quoted from mystman12:Thanks for the advice guys!
So the flippers, again, I don't really know what I'm doing, especially without pictures. I read the linked to thread above, but I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to loosen. I tried turning these two black knobs...

...but they're *really* tight, which, I guess would be the point, but I'm afraid I'm going to break something/remove the wrong thing. Are those what I need to loosen to adjust the flipper? Again, thanks!
Correct
