Quoted from waldo34:In the middle of my hardtop install. Will I need the Extended Bally Pinball Rollover Buttons or will the originals still work?
I needed to remove my rollover buttons so I could "trim out" the holes in the hardtop - because the holes in the hardtop were not sufficient (size, location). I ended up breaking all 4 of the original buttons during the removal process, so ordering the longer ones were a no-brainer since they needed to be replaced anyway.

Quoted from mrm_4:Those are some white posts holding that arch up top! What’s the secret man???
uhhh... paint ... I'm ashamed to say. They were so yellowed that I just couldn't bear to put them back in that way 
Quoted from Colsond3:Not sure yet. I have enough threads lingering with games I’m restoring, plus Halloween, that I have to get back to. Xenon might have to wait a little while.
And I’m not sure about all that. From your thread, your skills look pretty damn good to me.
Finally set this up to assess... it’s going to need a lot of love. Including removing this brace/piece of wood they mounted to the back.
And I don’t think he got any of the glue off from any of the mylar he pulled off. PF is actually sticky.

Have you seen / tried the flour and goo-gone technique for removing mylar glue? I've pulled mylar off of several machines (WW, F14, HS, Dr Dude) but the glue on my Xenon was the worst!
I used clear Ice Blue for the lights around the boarder of the backglass. I thought the standard blue was "too blue" but I wanted to add a little color here. I get that this is personal preference and not for everyone, but here's what it looks like FYI.
Quoted from waldo34:Thanks for the tips on the flippers. I think Terry gave me the wrong springs I put the original springs on there and they're working great now. I'll take the tip and flip the coils around. of course I also loosened and retightened everything so I may have had something pinched.
Only one issue remains I have all the sounds for the game however during play there's no background music. Is that correct that there is supposed to be background music during play?
Finally the Hard Top is awesome.

The background sounds are determined by the settings accessed through the programming button (back of coin door). I don't recall which setting I had to change on mine to get it to work, but I had the same issue. I'm sure someone can chime in here if you can't find it in the manual.
Quoted from mkdud:Does anybody have a good picture of the bus wires for the bumper lamps? Or, a good picture of when they did their bumper buses for a new playfield? My original playfield's are in terrible shape.
Does this help?

Quoted from RONR11:Hey guys need help. iPhone cloud pics are gone. I got 2 issues and looked at a dozen pics and some are different. I can’t see where the enclosed bracket goes and where the correct standoffs go on my ramp. Txs Ron

The metal guide actually goes on top of the upper left arch plastic. It keeps a ball that might hop on top of the plastic from rolling down to the tube-exit area.

Quoted from waldo34:I need help. Having an issue when the tube shot is made it completes rolling over the switch and landing in the kickout from there i am having issues. Ball should kick out or 2nd ball should start, nothing is happening. When I manually press the switch (almost like a second tube shot) ball ejects. I can add video if needed. Thanks for any help.
Maybe check your trough switch. It sounds like the machine doesn't know the second ball is in the trough, and is assuming it is on the playfield somewhere.
