Hi all,

Have had my sttng about 3 months now and have already had to replace trough opto board and give it a damn good cleanup, am doing it bit by bit as this is my first pin so am learning as I go (cleaned subway the other day was really worried whilst taking it apart but all went back on good )
The machine all working correctly and I have added color dmd so far which I love, question Is my alpha ramp is cracked and I want to replace so how hard is this to change by a novice ?, also the playfield has been cleaned and waxed by me using novus 2 and proper wax but I still cannot get rid of what looks like dull patchy bits any advice on how to make this shine like new? I don't have a buffer but is it really required to get this playfield gleaming again all over ?

Cheers all
Ps this game it rules although outlanes are annoying

Hi all thanks for the replies ,

Yeah did notice a few of the plastics already were not stock and someone has used black plastic cutouts i have since replaced these bits as ideally I would love to restore this machine I'll try get some pics of playfield up on here as don't want to take paint off if coat has gone so would like some input on if u all think it just needs a good buff or if more serious , Mylar is fitted to the length of mission start section and has a few bubbles in it so ideally I want to remove this but am terrified of taking paint off and decals .

Looks like whoever has worked on this in past has not put back together properly as u said screws aren't right etc so gonna be fun to get this baby gleaming and proper again
I'm generally okay with taking things apart etc but not any good whatsoever or soldering and electrical parts so hopefully none of that will be required to do a cleanup Jobby

Excellent point there mate , I had this very issue when removing subway the other day bloody screws kept dropping into wiring I had a nightmare trying to find them as like u I was paranoid that I was gonna short something if I didn't locate them but took me ages putting the bugger back on because of naff screedriver set so will definately be purchasing one of them

One thing I forgot (doh) is to clean the Opto s in the subway and since putting it back together I am every now and then getting an extra ball thrown into play could this be where I disturbed the dirt in there ?, don't think its the trough as I've just replace that last month and all switch tests are showing okay.
