I thought I'd give a little update on my progress. After much procrastinating, I bit the bullet and removed all of the wire looms from the original playfield and placed them onto the new playfield.



It actually looks more of a mess then it really is. You can see all of the lights, switches and coils have been tagged and numbered. I don't really know why but I used different colour tape for the lights vs the switches (maybe I was thinking I'd get them confused, who knows?). I then wrote the corresponding number on the original playfield next to where the part was removed for easy reference later. I have to say here that so many of the ideas I used to make this process easier have been stolen from the many other very informative restorations I've read here on AP. So a big thank you to everyone who's ever bothered to post their own resto's here before me.



This is where I'm currently up to, you can see the number of tags left are slowly shrinking back into the corner. I'd say I'm about 70% done here.



Still a bit to tidy up here once I'm all done but its cleaning up very nicely.
