Hi ive spent a few hours today with the ranex rust buster cleaning the rust from my legs with steel wool.
new leg levelers installed as well, i still have to remove the coin door and clean that up as well.
the game is playing good, but have had to adjust some switch gaps, and i keep having problems with a flipper going weak
after a few games.

Legs cleaned up great!

Usually with a flipper going weak after a few games you would be looking at a component overheating. Typically this could be the coil or the driver transistor.

Ranex is such an easy and cheap way to shine up the legs - they look great !

Check the weak coil for overheating - if it is getting hot then the EOS is not gapped correctly
