Take more pictures!

What I always do, is take it apart, section by section, the put them in bags in backwards order.. so the first bag would be 1, then 2 and so on... when you put it back together, start with the last numbered bag so you know you can put it all back together correctly... otherwise you will put a ramp back in, and then find out you need to put something under it you cannot get to.,

While you tear it down, take MORE PICTURES, so you know where everything goes..

Pick up a few dry tack cloths.. If you wax it, they are great to go over the playfield and pick up the small bits of wax that get left behind.. IF you can, once the LED's are installed and after you wax the playfield, turn off the lights in the room, turn the game on with the LED's, you will see what wax you missed.

Number the connectors under the bottom of the playfield as you take them off! Label both sides of the connectors with the same number, so you do not get any of them on backwards..

Do NOT force anything out.. you will eventually hear a snap... that is always bad.. especially those ramps, I have shopped two of these games.. if you break them, you will not find any replacements!!

Also, while you have it apart, check your switches in switch test mode.. good chance to check hard to reach switches..

Do not remove connectors with the power on..

If I think of more I will add it..

Good luck..

Take your time, be methodical, and don't be forceful, pay close attention to detail and how things come appart and what screw goes where if they are different. If you're unsure...ask pinside, someone will help. Good Luck !

Good advise so far. Don't feel like you need to take it all apart at once. Obviously, ramps come off before you access parts beneath. But you can do it in sections, to some degree. Take off sling plastics, rubber, posts, lamps...clean, re-lamp and reassemble that section. You would have to remove the ramps screws and spacers where they drop to the in-lanes. I sometimes push playfield screws into a piece of cardboard just as they go on the playfield. Then you can leave the correct screws in the correct post with washers, nuts, etc. you don't necessarily need every part off of the playfield at the same time. Lots of pics, take your time and have fun with it. Good luck...John
