I think your biggest mistake is spending any appreciable amount of time on Hook.
It looks all flowly and cool with the big spiral ramp, but boy is it a dog.
But as they say, I guess there's an ass for every seat...good luck.

Quoted from pinballjah:Just read on the AC/DC thread someone using WD-40 on the ramps. Personally I would think this would get all over the balls and then all over the playfield, etc.
It absolutely would.
Its a water displacer (hence the "WD"), essentially a tacky mineral oil suspended in a light volatile, best used on old automotive distributors when water gets splashed on it from offroading, etc.
Friends that own body shops do not allow it (or any product containing silicone for that matter) on premise because of the havoc it can create when painting (fisheye like crazy...) or on certain electronic components.
Quoted from Shredso:It's also a great opportunity to learn some stuff you might be otherwise nervous to do on an expensive game. Can you really put circuit boards in the dishwasher? (you can) Try some board repairs you may not feel confident on, touchup paint, etc.
Post a restoration thread!
While true, me personally, I'd wash the boards, reflow/recap if needed, etc, and sell the boards out of it, keep them as trade fodder, or keep them as spares.
I'd part that thing like the Red Sea, haha.
Not all games are worth saving, even with the knowhow and ability to do such.
