The Whirlwind I bought has a lot of (wet?) spots on the translite: mostly on the left side where the person/van is, and on the right above the funnel crossing sign.
Added a photo but it's hard to see.
Can I just seperate the translite from the glass and clean them both?

Quoted from jmountjoy111:

Yes. But be very careful with the translite. It’s kind of like a photograph and will scratch super easy. I Am sure someone will chime in with the proper method as there are many more experienced people on here than I.

Quoted from jmountjoy111:

I cleaned the translite with a super soft cloth and just water. And then dried with a different cloth. I’ve done several of them and never had a problem. I just figured that some of the people on here knew for sure what to do. My method may be wrong lol

Thanks for the advice jmountjoy111 , will try that

Posted this on Facebook (Pinball Repair Help group), but I'm posting my question here too:

A friends Whirlwind suddenly lost half of the power to the coils: flippers and other coils are much weaker then before.
Any advice other then fuses and connectors?

Thanks!

Quoted from rotordave:

Fuse will be ok or they wouldn’t work at all. But check the holders and make sure fuses are tight.
Get the manuals solenoid chart and mark what things aren’t working properly. Are they on a common plug?
Read the voltages at the test points.
Check molex plugs. Are all the wires in there nice and snug? Not uncommon for old wires to be brittle and be half hanging out of their slots.
Check soldering on the male header plugs on the boards.
Remember WW has the interconnect board so voltages pass from the bottom of the MPU through the IC board to the coils. Check the plugs and cables that join the boards. Those tiny wires like to break. I just had a Pool Sharks (same vintage) that I had to redo every interconnect wire.
That’s a good start.

Wow rotordave thank you! Will try/check this and report back
