What parts do I need?

I am picking up a beautiful older CPR playfield from a fellow pinsider later today. I have done the full topside teardown and overlay install before, but never a full playfield swap. I understand this is a huge time commitiment but I'm ready (40 more hours).

I understand I will need a crapton of T-nuts, and at 15 cents each I'm going to just order 50. Is this the right size?

I see and am reading up on lots of documented swaps but other than T-Nuts what do I need that is not already on the other machine? What else do I need before I can start the process?

Check the other machine for worn or broken parts. Especially vertical up kickers and their brackets.

Check plastic ramps for cracks or breaks. Check ramp protectors for cracks or breaks.

And don't worry. You'll likely find more to order as you move forward during the swap. Amazing what you all discover when it's stripped down.

Thanks...

I have the top side 100% torn down (for the second time) and other than the piece of metal that screws in here that is broken off in the other half (presumably a T nut) there is nothing else broken (so far)
