Quoted from PinballMikeD:Ok, so how does the backglass look?
Bummer, it's bubbling
Triple Thicked already. Oh well, not much I can do for the backglass. I'll have to pickup a repro CPR glass.

Don't wait too long on the back glass. Classic is sold out, so it's down to the distributors. I see Bay Area Amusements shows them in stock.
Quoted from PinballMikeD:Nice job.
I hate farting around with those old 555 lamp sockets, so I'll probably convert all mine over to 44s as well.
If you don't go the LED route at lest with 44/47's you can vary the brightness of the feature lamps. Have an EBD I'll be doing as well and will also convert it to 44/47's.
Something to consider... Since I have been doing playfield swaps, have gotten into the routine of installing Molex connectors on all the major components....Flipper mechs, slingshot coils, drop target mechs, pop bumper mechs, etc. Allows the removal of the major components and simplifies the transfer to the new playfield.

Quoted from PinballMikeD:Off topic, but worth noting - I've found that tumbling screws just isn't for me. Half the time I'm just not happy with the results. Plus, many of the screw heads are marked up and look used anyway, so tumbling gives me shiny used screws
I gave up quickly on tumbling screws. Didn't come out that well and I hate having to pick the grit out of the slot. Provided the screw is in good shape I just hold them with a needle nose plier and a couple seconds on the buffer and they shine like chrome.
Quoted from PinballMikeD:Too funny, I've been there. Checkout these buffed zinc acorn nuts

Very Nice... OK, as soon as the NW Pinball Show is done, need to get off my butt and get the new Centaur playfield in. Spent the last couple months making clear ramps for High Speed.
