Oh yea Im getting better with each day but me and my wife stripped half of our PF the other day and we ran into a bunch of little problems along the way. I thinks its more a confidence thing as Im always terrified im gonna break something or mess something up by not putting it back the right way lol

Im with ya! I'm going to strip my FH down and take the mylar off, do the touch up on the playfield, then clearcoat it!!!

Have I ever done anything even remotely similar to that??? Nope!

Risky, but fun!

Yea, you just need to do your due diligence and give it a try. Part of learning is making mistakes its par for the course. I get frustrated too but I just try to take it with a grain of salt. It's all a part of the hobby, got to take the good with the bad.

It's okay....The game here is to make sure everything is lined up right apply a little pressure and screw that bad boy back in place. Take your time and it should not be a problem.

Agreed, it's ok to remove those screws and replace.

had the same problem last night. Did just what the dude said a little pressure nd screw it back in SLOWLY like quarter turns at a time

Congrats on delving under the glass. HS2 is the first (and so far only) pin I've fully shopped. You will learn a ton - just make sure to take a lot of pictures!

I'd be surprised if I had deleted them from the hard drive, but it is possible my wife may have by now. Let me know if you run into any trouble - or better yet, just post it and you'll likely have an answer in no time. Good luck!

Dont beat yourself up Gorilla,

I tried to take mylar of yesterday , man or man. It allot fo work and i pull and it ripped only half of it off. Then the freeze air can goes out. I went thru 2 in about 30-45 min. I buy a hair dryer today. It looked like it was snowing on my playfield. So need to restock on beer after work and go back at it.

But only reason i even started is because of everyone here cheering us on!

Gorilla - if I remember correctly, some of those posts may have clips on the underside or need to be removed from the underside. I also think some of them are just stubborn!

I hate those goddamned posts. The "flasher stack" behind the gumball machine on my TZ is not secured. It originally had those snap-together posts (at least based on the instructions indicating you justp ull up on it and it comes out). Apparently the last owner solved the broken snaps by putting a screw down the post, and a nut on the bottom. I was able to, with great difficulty (literally, close to an hour to get 2 nuts off, with everything else in that area of the playfield taken off as much as I could), get the nuts off to remove the flasher stack so I could take out the gumball machine. Only to find out that the apparent gumball machine problem was something else. I had no way to hold the nut while reattaching it (and god, I didn't want to have to do that over again if I ever have to take it off again), so at present, it's just kinda placed there... which actually works just fine.
