Very straight forward - everything in the playfield is new. Posts, bumper mylar, bodies, caps and rubbers.

With the bumper mylar, did Gottlieb (for this era) always use the "floating" or non-adhesive type?  I am currently doing a restore on my Surf Champ, and the grit that got caught over the years underneath the bumper mylar ring caused alot of pitting in the playfield.  It also was quite grubby underneath the ring from all the dirt that accumulated.  I am planning on using adhesive rings - maybe not an exact/100% restore to its original, but I thought adhesive is the better way to go.
