Quoted from Grinder901:I just hope I can put it all back once it's ready.
Should turn out great with all Chestnut's work and your cleaning up/extensive shop job. I recently did a playfield swap so these pics here may be of help: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/hs2-playfield-swap/page/2#post-2971273

Thanks!!!! Topic added. My playfield has only a few issues and none that really warrant a full playfield replacement. I've been thinking about buying a new playfield and was offered $900 for his. I'm surprised the OCD/perfectionist in me isn't doing a full playfield swap but I don't think I need to. Years from now maybe.

WOW!!! $900...I'd do it then get the new one cleared by Kruzman.

Ah you're killing me. I'm doing new cabinet decals and the chroming. I gotta stop for a bit so I can actually enjoy the game someday soon
Quoted from Grinder901:New playfield $900
Getting it cleared ?
Paying someone to swap ?
Playing it when done. Priceless!

It's a pretty simple swap if the playfield is an original or one dimpled. Great way to learn but understand wanting to just play the darn thing and enjoy it. My playfield was pretty rough but I love the game so spent the time and money on it. It was worth it but I did play it for over 4 years before the swap. 
There are only a few spots on my playfield but most would not even be noticed by 90% of the players when everything is put back together. Considering its age. It's prob a solid 7 or 8/10. Shooter lane looks great and minimal wear at the ball eject but I'm putting a protector there anyway.
That game looks very nice. That's not much wear at all on the saucer. It typically gets really worn down at the back.
Quoted from Eryeal:Not chroming the stoplight??
Def chroming the stoplight base
is it just me or are the callouts and various sound effects way louder than zz top? it's almost like my sound isn't right or i have a bad speaker.
I've noticed that the ZZ Top soundtrack is a bit low on mine. Contemplating picking up a pinsound board and going with full custom sounds.
Quoted from Wescobar:I fjust be that the ZZ Top soundtrack is a bit low on mine. Contemplating picking up a pinsound board and going with a full custom sounds.
I'm prob going to upgrade the speakers on mine too.
Pinsound board?
Custom sounds?

Im going to be redoing the cabinet decals on my Getaway soon and one of the things i want to do while i have it toen apart is either replace or somehow fix the shaft on the gear shift. The chrome is pitted and corroded and im not sure what to do. I cant get it rechromed as the handle is pressed on so there is no removing it and replacing it will be a challenge as these things are pretty much unobtanium.
Any suggestions ?
Show some pictures.
Why not take the handle off like I did and put a different handle on after chroming it?
Damn, I should have sent mine to Mike to chrome....
anybody want to be a dear and give me the wire colors on the start button? most specifically, i'm missing the one on the right side, which i think is causing it not to light up. i made the mistake of ordering a new button before actually looking at it...
white/orange to j6-2
red/(purple/black?) to j6-4
green/purple to j6-7
at the bottom of that second pic, the yellow/green wire is loose, not connected. easy fix? is that what i'm missing?
I ordered the cabinet decals off eBay over three weeks ago and still havent received it. NEVER again! F ing international post can suck it.
Yeah these international orders can sometimes take forever, probably just sitting at customs waiting for someone to clear it.

Yep it's been waiting on clearance for almost a week. Wtf

Who did you buy them from ?
I bought mine about a year ago from classic arcades. Im a profeesional graphics installer so i generally know my stuff but its hard to tell off the sheet . Ill keep all posted on what i think after i install them. Might consider clear coating them after the installation we will see.
So I'm replacing my flippers with chrome colored ones. I noticed underneath, the flipper mechs of the lower two flippers are different into their cleanliness. The left one is filthy and the right one is clean and new looking. What causes the left one to get so dirty? How can I clean it?
Someone replaced the parts on the right one. You can clean them up, but I generally just replace all of the flipper mechs with new kits when I shop my games out.
Quoted from Grinder901:Oh yea I'm digging it

Lookin gooood dude.
Quoted from weaverj:red should be on top...
Great observation! I'll make the change.
Quoted from MustangPaul:Lookin gooood dude.
Thanks bud. Much more pimping left to do.
Quoted from TxJay:Looking great. I like the new pop bumpers and the translucent rubbers! Very nice!
Thanks man. I swapped the red and green. I agree much better.
I'm putting in three chrome/silver color flippers. I can't decide on what color rubber to use: red, black or hell maybe translucent?

Red, easier to see what the ball is doing.
