Thanks for the tip, I'll have to give that a try!

Those red scotchbrite pads are challenging my patience!

I got the last 2 of them from a home improvement store earlier this week, they told me they would be restocked by the weekend. Went in today, they were not restocked. Visited 2 other home improvement or hardware stores, no such luck

Time to order a box of them off eBay I guess. The heads polished up real nice by just taking a cloth towel, dipping the head in metal polish, and driving the head of the screw into the towel. Shine like mirrors actually. But, it didn't work so well on the threads.

Trying to get my list of parts together. Looking like I'll have to place 3 separate orders, because I can't get everything at one place. Not that I mind that, but I know I'll forget at least 1 item per order, and then I'll have to place 3 more - so I am trying to make sure my lists are complete :) I also finished up the Firepower II in my repair bay, and tested it on and off over a week, so I'm ready to fold it up, get it out, and start setting up the Creature cab. It needs re-braided and new leg plates installed.  Also waiting on a part from the guy who built my rotisserie so I can stick the playfield in it - so I've been doing a few bits out of order. If I don't order parts soon, or get rotisserie parts soon, I won't be able to proceed...
