The RHS return lane was worn to wood where the "But I like it" writing is.
"But I Li" is under the factory mylar, the "ke it" is worn to wood. In fact, the ball could almost just sit at the crease of the mylar if the ball was trapped by the RHS flipper. I did not employ the same technique as the main worn area, so I sanded the area flat and then applied another decal running from the "ke it" all the way up to the entrance to the return lane. It was trimmed to "buff up" against the factory mylar, and it took 5 minutes to trim and install. I did a test "run" with some of the hardware installed ;
Heres a later picture with the full sheet of mylar installed over the two decals. The hardware is installed and this will be the final result;
Under the playfieldEvery mechanism was removed cleaned and soaked in alcohol to remove the years of crap that had built up, and to completely remove the lubricants that were smeared on the plungers.. YUK... So all mechanisms rebuilt and re installed.
New globes installed.
All the metal parts were tumbled - including the all the plungers. All coils sleeves replaced, new switch caps installed where required.
The flipper coils were not original, so they were replaced. New full flipper kits were installed ;
Note the coil stop screw holes.. They look really bad, one is "elongated". Oversized screws and even wood svrews are common to hold things together.. All you need to do is swap the LHS plate with the RHS plate and you can use the new mounting holes on the plate. Now you can use the new screws supplied with the kit.
The game was fired up for the first time and it worked !
