Ron sells a kit with dremel bits for cutting through the clear and glue/syringes to seal newly drilled spots. I would definitely recommend it. And agree completely on new drill bits. Sharp is good. Along with the bits, it’s a 3-step process if I recall: dremel the clear, drill, seal with glue/syringe.
Quoted from EMsInKC:I got the kit so I'm good there.
I can remove a touch of clear from the hole edges no problem. One real question is this game uses those through the playfield nails that attach the bumper bracket. You think I'd be ok drilling it out but having the head of that nail tightening down on the clear on the top side?
Gotcha, I havent worked on a game from this era, but I’ve done this both ways with System 11 & WPC playfields. Assuming they use the same type of setup (fin screws or similar?) I believe the best practice is to cut the clear just enough so the top of the screw head is flush with the top of the clear using the Kruzman bits.
