I reckon almost everyone on this site would happily spend 10-60hrs working on a pin! I've only ever bought 2 pins 'shopped'. Both were working perfectly and cosmetically spot on, took them home and plug n play. However there is nothing better than getting a pin straight off a container, covered in 10 years of crap and black dust only to spend a week cleaning it making it look new....Whats your method of cleaning the underside of playfeild plastic inserts? Some times there black. Not sure about the other guys, my LAH was probably the worst. First round I dipped a cotton tip in nifty then another one in isocol alcohol. Came up sweet!
