Hi Ryan! Great thread. It's inspiring me to tackle my project non working FOUR player machine.. I wish it was a one player but it's the only non working machine "project" machine I have..

I have questions after reading your thread..

1. Why choose an EM and why choose this machine? Your other thread stated you didn't want to use an EM?

2. Did you file or clean the contacts while working on them? Inquiring minds want to know.

3. If you're planning to clean the playfield then I'm making an educated guess here that you're not planning to replace the original PF art with yours?

I have an idea for a pin retheme but mum's the word what it is.

I saw that which is why I asked...

Quoted from RyanClaytor:

I'm racking my brain and can't remember saying such a thing.

I was looking through topics started by you and saw this thread from 3 years ago..

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/best-pin-to-re-theme

where you said...

Quoted from RyanClaytor:

However, I am not a big fan of EM machines *cringe* (sorry EM guys), so let's leave those out of the equation.

and that's where I wondered when you changed your mind about an EM for this retheme and why..

Quoted from RyanClaytor:

I bow to your exhaustive research.

Ryan. To be honest, I was just looking at topics you started which is what I do when there are no new posts in my favorite threads and saw your "Best pin to retheme" thread and thought to myself, "Oh this should be interesting" then read through it expecting to see a "Swinger" recommendation (because I didn't see one in this thread) and ran into a..

and that is when I asked..

Quoted from PinballFever:

1. Why choose an EM and why choose this machine?

and you answered...

Quoted from RyanClaytor:

So, there's the full story,

Interesting story and welcome to the EM (dark?) side!

I'm reading your retheme posts with interest because someday I'd like to do a cartoon retheme but again mum's the word what my idea is

Quoted from RyanClaytor:

You're using images, quoting ad nauseam, and interested in rethemes. I'm starting to think we might be not-so-distantly related. *LOL*

Ryan. Lol, I couldn't resist. Remember I'm a cartoonist and one thing I learned is to communicate in the same language as who you're talking with. (using pictures, graphics "ad nauseum")

I wish I had the resources to do a retheme now. (a space to do it that is)

I'm reading your thread with interest and also read your pop bumper repaint link. Nice job there.

Dasvis is right. Steve Fury uses Minwax to protect them and I've seen posts here recommending Evaporust for removing the rust from metals.

Will this work with old white flippers, posts, ball guides?

Quoted from RyanClaytor:

Well...I've got a couple cracked flippers I could throw in the mix.

Let me know will you? I'm curious if it'll work too.

Quoted from FrankJ:

the correct tool for contacts is flexstone

Can you provide a photo of one? I want to be sure the two I have in my tool kit are flexstones.

Glad you're ok. A friend of mine is getting a pacemaker that'll be inserted under his collarbone and it didn't sound so invasive from what he told me.
