Oh good a new playfield. I see some "restores" where the playfield still looks like crap. Paint missing and bubbled Mylar is not my idea of a restore.

I see some of your IDC connectors a little toasty. One thing to really improve reliability that is inexpensive but takes a good day is replace all those IDC connectors with molex. They were meant to speed up manufacturing not improving reliability. After chasing ghosts issues in the past I replace ever single one.

I know what you mean. It's hard for me to get started but when I do I can't stop. Your working on a playfield or doing connectors and look up at the clock and it's 3am.

Quoted from heni1977:

I am thinking of throwing the whole thing in the dishwasher but afraid my wife might kill me.

Shhh...

Wait till she's out. We won't tell.
