    Quoted from Pin-it:

    Pull the shooter back before lifting & dropping the playfield prevents tearing the rubber tip.
    A habit i do before i even remove the lockbar/glass I will reset the game and leave the ball in the shooter lane and lift the playfield slowly and let it roll in the upper arch ,unless i tilt it back for full service! only then would i remove the ball. Just remember to slowly lower it. <use this on Em s
    not sure on newer pins though?
    When removing something,putting screws back into where they came out of saves a lot of confusion if you intend not to get back to it for a while.
    Labeling your playfield glass with the word >up<(w/sharpie) as read from the lockbar end keeps the outside/dirty side up.

    Huh, my glass is doublesided.

    Seriously though, clean one side, put it in the game, then clean the top when it's on the machine.
