Have machine up and running 100%. Added Cointaker Superbrite LEDs. New plastics and everything under the playfield rebuilt and cleaned.

Here are a few short videos of playfield and backglass

Thanks! The LEDs really make the backglass shine. All the pop bumpers and flippers are really strong and the sounds are perfect. I'm restoring two. One to sell and one to keep.

What clown? Are you saying you don't like the selection of LEDs for the backglass or you just don't like the backglass in General?

You are right. It looks a lot different and better in person. Looks odd in the video. The colors I choose accent the actual color of the art work.

Chris, it plays solid!

Quoted from s2k4ary:

That looks really nice. I wish I could have my playfield restored. Does it play pretty fast?

Yes, much faster with the auto clear!

Here's a before and after picture of the main center of the playfield.

Nice job.
Not a fan of LEDs installed on the Backglass , but the playfield looks great

It's seems folks are 50/50 on those that like LEDs for the backglass. I will continue to experiment with white and colored LEDs and post better pictures. The LEDs look much better in person, but my iphone pictures are not a good representation of how it really looks.

Here's a detailed video of my cleaning and rebuilding one of the target banks. Now, target banks work flawlessly and are very responsive.

Here's the video:
