Nice project! I'm doing the same with my bride of pinbot. I've got a lot of answers to my questions. "All" I need to do right now is to get the CPU board working. Get the game into attract mode but nothing more so far =) will follow your thread and see if I can get any inspiration.

I used a can of compressed air (dust off for electronics, cameras etc) and held it upside down while spraying. This way the pressurizing thing in the can comes out and acts like freeze spray. Kind of a hack but worked well on my bride of pinbot. Don't know if the technique will work on all machines but my result was very good. Only very few minor paint losses. There is a video on YouTube where someone shows how to do it on a TZ. If you gonna try it, be super careful and try somewhere where it does not show as much. Also don't stress it, let the freezing complete before trying to rip the Mylar off. I used a credit card to get one end up a little and then I could grip it with my fingers and continue. Up to you to try it but it worked for me!

Nice project, again!
I will make a restoration thread about my BoP too.. but i dont have the time atm. But this inspires me =)

Hi there! Nice project! =) I dont know about the color of the tip but i see it has been cut in the same way mine has. My is in a BOP but i have realized that folding down the playfield without pulling the plunger out will make a part of the PF cut through the tip. I noted the on/off button in your pinbot is the same style that on my machine. At first I thought it was a hack but apparently not =)
