This is interesting, and gives a great example why you should NEVER put a hardtop in a pin. Ugh, so much more work than just getting a CPR playfield.

Quoted from Lovef2k:

I agree. I have done 3 EBD CPR swaps. Just running the new trace wire and changing out the lamp sockets is a chore. Also getting the drop target banks aligned before pre-drilling the pilot holes for the banks is tricky and time consuming.
Either hardtop or swap, both are a crap ton of prep and work.

There is no way swapping a playfield is more work than this: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/vids-guide-hardtop-restoration-comet#post-4469974
