Looking great Dave .
Did you redo the spinner as it looks new ?
Are you going to put decals on the centre targets (available from www.firepowerpinball.com)

I'm still worried about drilling into my new playfield   !@#

Hi Dave, the target spinner is original, I touched up some of the black areas.
I've got the target decals but was going to wait till all back together to see if I will put them on, I probably will as the Reds on the targets look different shades due to reflection from the colours on the playfield.

I'm using a 5/64 drill bit for most of the pilot holes, for the underside I only have 10mm protruding from the chuck so I cannot go too far (watch out for shooter lane !), for the holes drilled from the top i use some tape to mark the 10mm on the bit.
A lot of the dimples underneath are a little out so you have to dry fit and drill to suit, I check against the original as I go, trying to mount the stuff closest to PF first and work back up, all the big coil brackets will go on last but have already drilled the holes.

I think the biggest chance of a cock up will be mounting the various switch stacks as the screws are different lengths depending on the size of stack, I will hopefully do these before I have too many beers  :lol
