High speed is a great pinball! IMO somewhat underrated.
Try a light coat of Mothers Gold Brazilian Carnuauba wax on the playfield. Give it a 10 games of so to finely coat the balls, ramps etc. IMO nothing makes High Speed more high speed.
Quoted from Freeplay40:Good timing for maybe one of these?
Where did you get the clear ramp from it looks great! Mine's black and could do with replacing.

Finished most of the top and worked the last 2 weeks focused on bottom of play field. Trying new strategy of cutting coil wires and moving hardware to the new play field. I marked wires so I can quickly resolder when I move the harness. Also, check the level of detail in cleaning and polishing all parts, both above and below play field.

Finished under play field prep of the play field swap. Also soldered key switches and sockets on top of play field. Also, added new coil wraps for that ultra clean look. Just need to add LEDs and I'm done under play field. Then, assembly ramps and plastics and I'm really done! Also, cleaned lockdown bar with Evapo-Rust.
