Great thread, i'm in the process of trying to bring a parts Flight 2000 back to life, boards are back to working condition, playfield is stripped down and a bit of touchup has been done, still needs a little bit more, but it looks a lot better than before, paint is not a perfect match.

Here are pictures of before and after:

Any tips for repairing this, without buying a new plastic set.

Yea i was afraid of that, i would just hate to have to remake them, since im never going to get the artwork to be correct again, and finding polycarbonate in that thickness could be a challenge.

Don't worry about the German, i don't speak that language either.

I think i seen a picture of a Flight 2000 with the wireforms installed, main problem here is im located in Denmark, parts for pinball machines are very sparse at best, i have no idea on where to get the required parts.

Polycarbonate i can get without much problem, but it would kinda silly without the artwork.

I did however saw someone that raised those pieces of plastic, but of cause i don't remember where, could be a solution also.

Nice fix, problem is i can't find wire gates in europe, maybe im searching wrong, but so far no luck.

Does anyone got a scan of the two inlane guides, i got an idea, not sure if possible.

Would you be willing to share the Fusion 360 file when its done ? Im thinking for 3D print, that would be an easy and very cheap way of replacing the inlane guides.

I had some scrap 3mm polycarbonat kicking around, so i made a quick test, still need to be cut to length next to the flipper.

And it looks like this installed:

Thank you, and at least it works, i could have been a little more precise with the sanding, but only had a dremel and some sandpaper.

Here is a picture of both sides done:

I would like to try also, got a 3D printer next to me.

Im pretty sure its the same kind of switch, its something like this: https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/12-CCS312

I can add its the same switches in the Bally slotmachines also for coin mech's, kinda interesting since those switches are unobtainium here in Denmark, now i know what to look for next time i need one of those.

And to be a little bit on topic also, my Flight 2000 is coming together nicely:
