Quoted from PinballBillinFL:A bit off-topic for here, perhaps, but.. What's the best way to polish the top surfaces of the plastics? A couple of them look to be scuffed a bit, and I don't want to use anything that will harm them. Can they be waxed or something?
Thanks to all!
Try novus 2.

Quoted from vid1900:Yep, novus2 is perfect for the unpainted side of the plastics
Thanks for pointing this out, otherwise he would have wiped away artwork.

Quoted from Dakine747:vid1900 GREAT advice on this topic! Any suggestions what I might do with the bell spacers on my recently acquired, restored EBD? A teardown for a playfield wax revealed none of them have the flanges which attach them to the new plastics. They are under enormous plastics and a NIIIIIGHTMARE to reassemble when only a post screw holds them in place (and even worse with that fresh coat of wax)! I really don't want to contaminate the pristine plastics with glue, but I don't see much of a solution the next time I have to disassemble it. Thanks for any feedback.

NicoVolta Made some repro bells. Ask him if he has any left.
Quoted from NicoVolta:Thanks Blue… between your parts recommendations and relentlessly sharing pinballs for sale across the internet, I’ll never have a life again!

Dakine747 If Nicovolta doesn’t have any bells left I may have some in my parts bins.

Quoted from tomdrum:I picked up some Cliffy lane guides for my Flash Gordon. What's the best way to remove the bell posts from metal lane guides? Just drill the lip off? Is there a better way?

Insert hot soldering iron tip inside the bell post top lip and move it around every few seconds. You should be able to pull the bell off with a rag (it’ll be hot) after about 30 seconds. If this doesn’t work (it does for removing metal bells from plastic) you may have to use a punch.
Quoted from tomdrum:I've done the soldering gun method on plastic. Have you successfully done that on metal?
No I haven’t.
