I'm swapping out the mini playfield on my Jackbot, but I expect my question would apply to Pinbot as well.
Are the small posts glued to the playfield? I've removed the screws but the posts won't budge. Is there any way to removed these without breaking them? I'd rather not have to buy a bunch of new posts.
Quoted from Hammerhead:Are the small posts glued to the playfield? I've removed the screws but the posts won't budge. Is there any way to removed these without breaking them? I'd rather not have to buy a bunch of new posts.
I’ve always just seen them screwed to the plexi, no glue.
Maybe someone added glue?
Or more likely, a cleaner was used that seeped under the posts and kinda melted the plastics to allow them to fuse together somewhat. I would think you could still break them apart, maybe soak the whole thing in some warm water first?
Good luck
