Documenting Sethman Diner Diner playfield swap with a CPR playfield. It will get new ramps (with MRS), new Taylor rails (bought a few years back), plastics and anything we find needed along the journey. The supervisor has been busy as this is back to back to the Bad Cats we just did before.

4190C2E9-FA86-4452-BABB-668B011BC492 (resized).jpeg

Mechanisms are disassembled. For parts needing attention, it needs new flipper bats, new elevator bracket ($67!!!!), new sling pivot/kicker arm, and one saucer eject needs a new pivot.

Flippers will get rebuilt WPC style with new bushings.

Looks like it will get new coil labels only because some vibration nervous Nelly hot glue gun’d the living hell out of the coils.

Underside process today. I would’ve gotten further but there’s no dimples. None! That’s ok, not the first time or the last. The benefit is getting a better fit and cleaner looking.

Using Zitt clear pop bodies. I’m using them on just about everything. He also has cool translucent skirts in colors as well as other cool parts and mods.

Lane change guides we went to clear but will get red frosted bulbs under them. This should brighten it up in that dark hole but still look similar with a twist.

I got a bunch from Pintestore a few years back.

I’m doing things a little different for laying down harnesses with no dimples. I started with the switch harness and even have one screw in each despite them being replaced. I did get the pop switches with new spoons in all the way so they’re all done. I’m using new tubing wherever there is any like this shooter lane switch.

Then followed that with the lamp harness. CW for GI and clear inserts. Yellow and orange inserts get WW and the rest color matched.

The wire managers will be the last to install to look the cleanest. I’m trying to clean up lamp boards too. That’s the positive for no dimples. You spend the time to get them all lined up to light up the best and look clean.

Same with the mechanisms. I have the two saucer ejects and slings installed. It took some time to get them perfect but look better and clean.

Ramp 1 disassembled.

Ramp 2 is only drilling out rivets for the ball stop and transferring over to the new ramp. I used sems and nylock nuts vs riveting. Prefer to have things easier to disassemble by tools. I don’t like to have a drill close to a pinball machine any more than I have to!

Supervisor checks out the work.

Been busy on the bottom while waiting for new switches. I thought I had plenty. I had 4…

All harnesses are laid along with wire managers. All coils installed are soldered. Which only leaves the pops, ramp and diverter left to install.

Flipper frames are installed and prepped but the new coil sleeves were so tight I ordered new coils. They’re incoming too.

Right ramp was wrapped up with new switches. Note you need to swap over the diverter bracket and the two switch brackets. They used to install these things on other titles. Not sure if there’s a shortage or what but no big deal.

Some cabinet cleaning and blades and will be installed.

The apron wireform is getting cleaned and the. Polished. Will be installed soon.

It’s not bad but I think TZ is pretty easy so I’m not the best to ask. It’s not difficult. If I can do it, anyone can. Just helps to have the right tools and use the Kruzman kit to prep any holes before putting a screw in.

They may no longer be offered. I believe the owner got these a few years ago.

.

No idea.

Thanks buddy!
