Looking good. I just recently stared mine, and replaced a bunch of the stock stuff. Let me know if there is anything you need.

Quoted from orangegsx:One question I did have. Is there anyway to stop the upper flipper from hitting the ball guide? Or do I just have to keep extra rubbers around?
Wowzer, that appears to be an adjustment issue, either with the way the flipper was set or where the ball guide is sitting. It's something to be aware of when reinstalling, check your spacing and adjust flipper accordingly.
Also kudos for taking the time to regrain. I've been on the fence about it, but it may be a nice break from the PF stuff. The flaps are awesome. I've heard these work great too, but only go up to 400g: https://www.harborfreight.com/4-in-400-grit-abrasive-ball-61183.html
Quoted from orangegsx:So far the bumpers are the first thing that I am not fully enjoying working on. Only five more to go though!
Bumpers are pretty much the worst of it. There is nothing more miserable. You're doing great and they look sick!
Deep breath, it's rare that these things can't be fixed.
My boss has a minty Gorgar, I sent his boards out to be rebuilt, got them in and seated the ribbon cable incorrectly, boomsauce down the line. Sent them back out to my board guy and a few swapped parts and they were as good as new.
It sucks, but it happens and luckily you have plenty of resources available to you.
Quoted from Schwaggs:In the mean time, remove the ribbon cable from the display and see if the CPU will boot.
