    Ive done about 30 swaps and learn something new every time. My main 'must do' is to always replace the sockets even if the owner doesn't want to. Nothing worse than a brand new PF with dim or flickering lights.

    Quoted from ChanceKJ:

    What are you guys using for new screws on Gottlieb pf’s? Just off the shelf from Home Depot, or do you have a resource. I’d like to avoid flat heads as well if im replacing them all. Those were a bitch.

    I buy all my hardware at bolt depot.com. The only screw I can not find is a 1-3/4 which is used on older games like EM's.

    Quoted from pinhead52:

    Yea pre drill with 7/64ths especially when using old (soft) hardware

    When doing a swap I always try to use new hardware. There are instances where there is a strange size of screw, but then I sand the heads to a shine in that case.
