I’m now deep in mine too. Saw that a playfield from Planetary is $475 so I’m swapping. Fully stripped it over the weekend, interesting to see the connectors used in the harness. My original playfield is decent but why not...

I’m putting on Titan rubbers, new flippers and bumper rod & ring and skirts. I’ll see how my ramps clean up, if I’ll flame polish.

Playfield made its journey from Nevada to Ottawa. Seeing the fade on the original is interesting. New one made in 2007.

I uploaded a PDF of the labels from underneath the playfield if anyone needs them. I redrew all of them except the Monopoly playfield diagram which is a scan.

I'll put one up with a white background later in case anyone wants to print on yellow sticker paper (which would look more authentic).

Going to order that Mylar kit!

Backside of my playfield swap is done, going to clean up the cabinet next.

It’s alive! Playfield swap done

Just a coloured LED in the GI socket, nothing extra. I didn’t change the LED lighting a previous owner had added. I’m not a big LED fan but it works in this game I think.

I did have a few adventures.....found both lower flashers had damaged wires from rubbing on the hex post. I suggest all owners check these as I found other people had this issue. Caused the F7 fuse to blow and the Q29 transistor to fail. I spliced a bit of new wire in and sleeved them with rigid vinyl tubing to prevent future wear.

I could tell that Q29 had been replaced before but whoever did it didn’t think to fix the underlying cause!
