Thanks for the info guys regarding the LED's. I will probably use a combination of both LED/regular globes similar to the way ddstoys will be doing his CFTBL.

Here are a few pics from today, finished levelling one side of the playfield inserts. Going to be a MUCH better surface to play on now. Certainly not the most enjoyable thing to do but it will pay off in the long run (hopefully  ).

I set that light up to get some warm air around the playfield...


Left side...


Left again...you can see where the sunken playfield insert has caused the ball to slowly eat away at the playfield...
