Started my playfield swap on Gold Strike. About 6 hrs to disassemble. Will post details about how I went about it later. Need to find the right staple gun for the GI wire. So far not a bad job. Going to start assemble today but going to take my time

Quoted from pinhead52:

I just used this one to do a Diamond Jack swap, worked very well

Which one is that. Where did you buy it and what size staples. Thanks

Got the whole thing slid over. Also got the underside half together. Not as bad as I thought almost like a puzzle.

Nothing applied. Be careful with paste wax make sure no petroleum bi products are in the wax.

Quoted from Electrocute:

I had a Wade Krause Wizard! playfield auto clearcoated and it is so nice and smooth. It is currently being swapped out. My only concern is how much different it will play. Good or bad, not sure. Guess I'll know soon. If I like it, I'll probably have it done to Atlantis as well.

Who did you have Auto clear coat.
