I am trying to shop a Whirlwind i just picked up and can't find an easy way to access the fasteners on the ramps and plastics on the top of the playfield. I can tilt that end down and reach in there with a short screwdriver but its a pain in the ass. I see the service hinge assy has an opening so it looks like i could disengage it and pull it out but I 'm afraid I'm gonna damage it as I wouldn't know where to support it. Also whats the best way to disengage the diverter from the ramp on the lower left of the playfield. Looks like I gotta take that ramp off to get the rear ones out. Yes, I'm a greenhorn...

perfect. that's what I needed. thanks man!!!

yup. saw that. also saw an eclip on the top. probably would have gone with the set screw first but I'd rather ask and be confident while i destroy my machine...

I have some wear around the spinning discs. marco had a decal but the ytell me it's no longer available.

I guess i might have to paint it by hand if theres no other solutions

I found one from a dude with some experience. he said to build up/level the worn spot with wood putty first, then place and go. i will get it and let you know what happens with some before and after. Hopefully the after wont wont be a picture of it in my garbage can covered with coffee grounds and cigarette butts...

anyone had any luck cleaning/polishing the topper with novus as opposed to repainting it? I would think novus would remove the yellow

not sure. I have to get a good picture of the decal then take a closer look at the place where it will go and determine if it's gonna be a huge pain. I will post the decision or results.

haha awesome. if you were to go look at some of my previous posts you will see some sideways sh_t there too
