Finally finished my KISS playfield Swap. It is a IPB repro with additional clear from Chad Keller. Looks beautiful and the game plays so fast now.

Thanks guys. I agree on the artwork. I think they really did it right on this one.

My lessons learned.
Mark every coil with tape. I also marked every lamp and switch with a sharpie.
Buy the staple gun and puller tool from pinball restore.com. Can't imagine doing this without either.
It will take twice as long as you think because IPB doesn't dimple the playfield. You have to measure everything, mark it, measure again, measure a third time, then drill.
Drill the holes for and mount the flippers ONLY after finding the sweet spot where the ball will roll up and down the in-lanes smoothly. Don't just center the playfield bushing in the hole.

Thank you.

They are CTs Warm white 4+1s. I put the 4+1s in all my pops. They are brighter and more importantly, won't melt the caps like regular 555s will.

Thank you. This is the only one I have at the moment. You can see the original playfield. The other side is similar with a bit more fading. I haven't messed with the cab at all as it doesn't bother me. Its not bad enough for me to want to repaint it.
