As this is just a clean , not a resto thought I'd just continue this thread.
Finally have stripped the PF down enough to clean it properly . Hope I don't have to do this too often as its a lot more work than a EM or SS.
It was worth doing though as I found 2 of the pop bumper bases had worked loose, a broken post rubber in Pop bumoer area and a loose metal ball guide as well as the Snack Bar plastic broken in 2 places (common prob it seems)
I plan to strip the pop bumper assemblies down while I've got the playfield pulled apart just to check them.
Here's a few pics . In the 1st one is an example of the dirt (ball tracks).
I've cleaned the top 2 3rd's of the PF so far (down to the top of the inlanes/outlanes) , including removing PF posts and cleaning them and the areas under them .
I had previously cleaned all the readily accessible areas which iswhy bottom 3rd doesn't look too bad.
Wish me luck in getting it all back together properly
Hopefully I'll figure out why the centre ramp lights don't work during the reassembly.
