Slowly been shifting focus away from SS pins to EMs - currently have two an Aztec and Hot Shot. Picked up my first EM project - A Go Go. Have the playfield stripped and cleaned - did some light touch up in one location that I matched perfectly but when I sprayed a light coat of FixIt on the touch up so it wouldn't wipe off it darkened Still looks okay but - damn I had perfect color match. Good thing FixIt is easy to remove.

Need new plastic posts for the game - some were in really bad shape. Checked out marcospecialities for posts but had hard time identifying a which ones to buy that would match the originals. Pop bumper caps also faded. The 10 point score caps are available but yet to locate a "JET" cap. The plastics are in great shape and cleaned up well with Novus. Need brackets and plungers for the two outside flippers - someone removed the brackets and the plungers. A quick question on the flipper mechanics. The outside flippers are early em style flippers with return springs while the two inside flippers are a modern design with springs on the plungers. Did someone swap out the mechanics of the inside flippers?

Have not started on the mechanics - don't even really know where to start. Initial plug in and game start caused two of the relays in the backbox to constantly fire.

what size lock cam for the front door of 1972 Fan--Tas-Tic and what size for the rear back box plate?

Thanks. Picked up a really nice one that will look good next to the A-Go-Go as they both have the roulette wheel spinner.
