TeardownTime to take lots of pictures and remove the playfield parts. There is contact lifting, shrinking and looking just plain ugly.
Have a look at those "stretch marks"
Contact RemovalLooks like at attempt had been made to remove the contact previously - and paint has lifted - around the "Same player Shoots Again" between the flippers. Not a good sign for me.
But with some applied heat to the playfield - it comes off EASILY. Notice I'm heating the area where the contact is still applied. This warms the adheasive, and I pull the contact towards the heated area.
Contact is totally removed
It looks like this - now I have to clean up the residue with Shellite and then isocol/magic eraser
Then a quick clean with Novus 3 and then Novus 2 ;
I won't be trialling the Treasurecove Polishing kit on this machine, as there is some fine cracking in the paint, so it would be too risky. Next step os to wax the playfield.
