Thanks Shansta,
the flaking paint on the backglass shows up more when the lights are on, but I'm pretty happy overall

I don't suppose there's anywhere else apart from pbresource to buy schematics from? somewhere that I can make a credit card payment to?
US ebay didn't show up anything...

Your're meant to spray "Krylon triple thick" on the backglass to stop the flakes.

I couldn't find it when I needed it - but Spotlight stocks the non-thick version, it's called Krylon Crystal Clear. (You need to do a lot more coats with the thin one - but it's better than having backglass dandruff!)

Nino might (would) know where to get it?

spotlight used to carry it. If they don't, then there must be a Krylon dealer somewhere  ^&^

Love to know where... Hopefully it's the same place that sells the bulk bottles of Novus...  :D

sealing the backglass is on my list of things to do for sure
going to try using the glad wrap method to flatten down the already flaking bits
i think (hope) it will come up really nicely as long as i can find some krylon

I'm going to go through the pinny following the pinrepair.com EM guide and see if i can't get everything spick and span =)
first job, find out why a coil is staying on and the score does not advance when the pop bumpers are hit...

Ben - start a tech thread so the repair does not get "lost" in the "General Discussion section"

Good pick up Ben. @@*

Nothing worse a flaking backglass,i like the gladwrap idea for when they are flaking a lot.

Enjoy
