If it works at all I tear it down and do all of it at the same time.
If it's non working I try and get it working first. However sometimes you end up taking it apart anyway because you just can't get it going assembled.

Quoted from DCRand:Follow up: So after all the good advice, decided from now on, get it working first. Currently Gottlieb 1970 Baseball. Was a mess both electrically and cosmetically. After much chasing down multiple electrical / mechanical / and especially score reel and base runner problems -- got it working great. Then tore it down to fix cosmetics. About 90 percent done now, plugged in last night and started a game to check for bulb outages and sure enough, score motor spins like a carousel. Oh well, .........
It's a virtual certainty that even if you get it working fine and tear it down to restore, when you put it back together, something won't work. Finicky damned things.
I think the only game I've done that was working when I restored it and then worked again when I put it back together was Time Zone. Even then there were a few small problems.
