Hey all! Snagged my first pin, a high speed that needs a little love. Picking it up sometime in the next couple of weeks.

The colors look great but the PF does have some wear here and there. What's the general consensus on that? Leave it?

Thanks!

Hey all, got my pin in and got pics! I'm confident on the body touch ups I'm going to do but would love some opinions on what if anything I should do to the Playfield. It's got some Mylar on it, doesn't look factory though.

Sorry I meant it looks like it was applied after some wear was incurred.

Thanks! I'm mostly concerned about the. Bubbling over the inserts.

Hey all, I did some board work this week and got my High Speed to boot with no issues. Very excited.

The three main issues aside from normal shop/replacing old parts stuff I'm having are...

-no lower right display
-no backbox lights
-playfield paint issues

For the display, it seems to just be out. i'm going to fully resolder the pins on it, but the lower left display worked in both lower positions, so i know the board is ok. that display also had some distortion in it. Honestly, I might just replace the displays with an Xpin set.

The backbox has no lights aside from the game over, which do come on and flash. This one has me a bit stumped, as I assume those aren't on the same control? I tried some known working bulbs, no luck. I've got a picture of a connector below, some are browned like this but none are burned. I don't have enough experience yet to know if this needs replacing or is just age.

I've also added some close ups of the playfield paint issues. There are some very clear/simple touch up/worn areas on the upper playfield, but I don't know how to handle the below around the lanes/flippers.

Any ideas or tips you have would be really appreciated. If I should be posting this kind of thing somewhere else, please just point me there!
