make sure you have the grd braind attached in head also (should just be a pi tail that screws into the head braid)
Quoted from FatPanda:Brand name vs generic? Who knows. It's all in the marketing. I hear there's an expert marketer that does a podcast. I digress...

Quoted from FatPanda:There's no rush right now to do the overlay or the hardtop (I'm assuming that's what you're talking about).
Just throwing out my thought that after I clean it and get it working 100%, that some new playing surface is in its future I guess we'll see what's available whenever that time comes.
you for sure want to get it 100% before planning to swap or tear down. Outside of that my advice is put out the feelers/ISO now to try and find a CPR playfield.
The hardtop stuff is junk IMHO and you want the real feel of wood and clearcoat if you are going through the effort of a swap. Bonus is that with CPR you can do a hot swap instead of a full teardown of you game, then hardtop install, and then repopulate. If you are going through all that effort, you would be happier with sendng your current pf off for restoration and clearcoat. End product will be original and way better.
glad the diode got your tilt bob working. Now tighten it up like a normal person and take it off 5 ball 
Quoted from FatPanda:One of the pops have phantom switch hits
common on this era of Bally (assuming you have already check for switch gap)
It is my understanding that it is related to those little disc caps on switches. Replace them all and then new caps on the flippers for flipper rebuild typically takes care of it (or at least greatly reduces it)
