Quoted from mof:* troubleshoot controlled lamps problem (1)
After watching that video, I noticed a problem with the controlled lamps for 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x. It took some troubleshooting, but it had to be a short... Lo and behold it was the disc contraption that holds all the lights -- a bulb was grounded to that disc! Look out!

Was it the one in the center? I was concerned that could happen on mine and added some electrical tape there as an insulator.
It looks like your machine is turning out great.
Instead of using nuts to secure the plastics I installed a new set of rubber post caps:

I used white and they look good on the game. Black should also work. They hold tight, make it easy to remove the plastics, and are more forgiving if the ball hits the plastic. Also I've had issues with the lock nuts where they would stick and the whole post would unscrew so I tend to avoid those unless specifically needed somewhere.
