    What era Pin? That makes a big difference.

    Okay. All my pins are early to mid 90s SS. Two Williams one Bally. Thanks.

    Awesome thanks guys. Was concerned this was hard!!! So I suppose disconnecting the cables first is a must. One can't just set the playfield to the side and leave the cables connected? In which case, do you number/mark the cables and boards as you disconnect or is is "idiot proof" in that the cables only connect to the boards where they are meant to?

    Quoted from DefaultGen:

    I guess it's worth asking what are you doing removing the playfield from the cabinet if you're intending to keep the cables connected? Are you sure you need to remove the playfield?

    I am considering installing inside/sideboard decals and the manufacturer recommends removing the playfield first.

    Quoted from BrianZ:

    What are you planning on doing? Complete tear-down? ?

    At some point, yes. But currently considering installing inside, sideboard decals with the wet method and the manufacturer recommends removing the playfield first. Probably not a bad opportunity to do a tear down though. Plus it would give me a chance to "practice" if I decide to re-decal the cab of my Judge Dredd as it could use it. Thanks.
