More Progress - I need to rebuild every section of the playfield - underneath the playfield. All parts are tumbled, cleaned or replaced. There were a couple of coils that did not measure correctly, so I replaced them. The bumper assemblies had their yokes replaced, and even the springs were tumbled ! Here's a picture of a rebuilt bumper assembly;
Flipper assemblies are rebuilt with new flipper kits from PBR. Assemblies are polished up and look new again
Everything is cleaned and checked. Even the corroded screws are treated with ranex. Light sockets are cleaned and new globes fitted. This is one of the best jobs on an EM, as everything "comes together" as each hour passes. Either new or polished parts are installed and the moving parts are no longer tired and sluggish.
Relay Bank is cleaned with degreaser, alcohol and dried with compressed air. All the screws are tightened, adjusted and cleaned. The coil sleeves on the reset coils are replaced. It is essential that this unit works perfectly.
Here's the other stencil Gav sent me. This is for the inserts around the inland and outlanes. I completed this two days ago. I've clearcoated this area with some really good results. The clear was a little too glossy, but it is a lot better than what was there. Here's what it originally looked like ;
Here's the cleared area ;
Much Better !!
Getting closer to having a game.
