I'm an electrician and I'm watching this with keen interest. You may have just raised the bar in terms of the things that people have to do in a full restoration. Bless you and curse you!

Quoted from Mitch:

If you put the lacquer on and apply power while the lacquer is wet maybe the vibration will help it seep down into the plates?

Lacquer, lacquer thinner, and the fumes are all *extremely* flammable. Do not energize a transformer or game until well after all volatiles have fully dispersed. Some of the worst disasters I've ever seen involved pinball machines and contact cleaner. The solvents in lacquer are no different.
