So here is a list of what was done:

-replaced clock housing and lens
-replaced clock decal
-modified clock to LEDs
-replaced all coil sleves
-replaced all rubbers
-replaced all star posts
-flame polished ramp
-replaced decal under ramp
-replaced plastic above ramp
-replaced slingshot plastics
-made plastic protectors for slings, rocket, slot mach and piano
-removed and polished every post and every screw as all had surface corrosion
-a couple of small touchups
-PF completely stripped down cleaned polished and waxed
-new globes
-inserts cleaned from below playfield
-fixed a raised insert
-rebuilt all flippers, new bats, new plungers, links, and pawls. New coild sleeves and flipper bushings
-rebuilt all targets, the back plates were all too coroded to fix, so I had to make new stronger ones from stainless steel, new foam backing
-Made a stronger target for the always hammered slotmachine target using stainless steel 10mm x 10mm square section, milled back off to make a 'u' shape then milled at an angle to finish off
-replaced pop bumper metal rings
-replaced pop bumper caps
-replaced pop bumper wafers
-replaced a few coils that were the incorrect ratings
-re-blued the spring steel flaps on the entrance to all ramps
-re-blued the one way gate flaps
-all new hex-screws
-replaced lane guide
-removed the magnets and machined the face that sits level with the PF (stupid idea, DO NOT do this, machining was ok and they look fantastic, BUT the windings of the magnet started to unwind with the cardboard removed and I started to get a bit of a birdsnest going on, had to take 5 before I flipped out and calmly put it all back together again!)
-new improved trough proximity sensor
-replaced leg bolts
-reproduction translight
-changed the wedge sockets to #47 sockets on the flashing globes in the backbox to accept the more commonly available #455 globes
-added the colour changing led on the '?' and 'clock millions' globes (this is the only mod I will do as I hate the gumballs and all the 'happy meal' mods that people go overboard with)
-cleaned powerball
-New leg bolts and levelers
-added 5 new mirror glazed balls
-replaced LHS backbox speaker
-removed factory mylar with new mylar
