This thread will document my second playfield swap, Medusa. My recent Fathom playfield swap went well, so I’m going to take advantage of having lessons learned fresh in my mind.
Compared to Fathom, which was in good shape, this game is kind of a hot mess. Tons of hacks and the flippers are garbage.
I have a Silver CPR playfield, new plastics, apron, drop targets, flipper rebuild kits, #44 lamp sockets, posts, etc.
I also scored a NOS kickout part that’s hard to come by used by Shield of the Gods. Someone installed a slingshot mech which actually worked fairly well, but I’ll trying to keep this section original.
Like before, I labeled everything under the playfield. This game has less mechs than Fathom but a pretty complex flipper system. I’m nervous about rebuilding the entire mech and all flippers, but too late now.
After the wire harness is off, everything goes in the wash and I pre-drill the CPR playfield.

I expect this one should take me a month or so barring any disasters.
