Congrats, and good luck! I'm in same boat and have the topside torn down now
New playfields, new plastics, new rails new pops, lots of new parts

Question ... how do you remove these nails? Best I can come up with is "carefully"
I have new black rails that I ordered from Pinball Life so if I damage these it's not the end of the world
I also ordered new 18 ga 3/8 nickle colored escutcheon pins from Ebay

Also - heads up when pounding in T-nuts. Couple of things I discovered

The Mirco drilled holes are just slightly too small. At least for the brands of T-nuts I had on hand
You'll need to drill out at least enough depth in the hole to accommodate the threaded shaft of the T-nut

The T-nuts around the "window" in the playfield might be problematic if you are not careful
The are very close to the edge of the window AND that edge is routed (so it's thinner there)
I shoved a magazine that was the same thickness of the "missing" wood so when pounding in the T-nuts, that (potentially fragile) edge had support

FYI - There are 28 #6 T-nuts

Thanks!

Great idea - less stress

In the middle of a (3) playfield swaps here on my HH.

I see a wire near the relay bank that has popped off
Does anyone have a clear pic of that spot on the relay to indicate where that wire goes??

It's "White wire - Purple/Gray stripe"

Anyone have an image of this area of the relay bank?

Was in same spot, decided to buy the game at $2k and grab a set of Mirco playfields - not worried about under water. I like the game and want a really nice version
I would recommend tackling a simple Bally late 70s title first if you've never done a swap. Harlem, Bobby Orr, Eviel K, etc.
Also recommend you suspend some time on the HEP thread. Tons of great tips there
If you can afford the new PFs - go for it, the artwork and backglass are beautiful on this game!

Detailed write up of my Harlem swap/restore here FWIW
Will also be writing up my HH swap as well soon

Need some help HH experts. Just finished my triple playfield swap on my HH
Still ironing out some minor issues
See video (17 secs)

My game lights the basement controlled lamp #1 and gives credit for having knocked down the entire bank of drops, right when I start a game
Is that logic driven by a single switch I may need to adjust?

Checked a bunch of vids and all gameplay for HH appears to start with the lower playfield #1 insert already lit.
If so, looks like I don’t have an issue

Team HH. Anyone know what drives attract mode in HH?
Mine has never gone into attract mode
I read somewhere that one of the relays engages (you can hear it in multiple videos I watched), but that function is not outlined in the manual, and no relays are engaging on mine at idle

Wondering if that is also related to my weak attic VUK?
New ni-wumpf driver board shows error on E2 (solenoid 2) and although the VUK solenoid (solenoid 2) occasionally gets the ball to the attic, it’s not consistent

Thanks! Found that in the manual after you posted it
Attract mode now works

Thanks, just ordered one. I repaired mine when I did my triple PF swap but nice to have a new one!

You may have already solved this but I used this chrome trim
