That looks awesome, the playfield really did look in great condition too.

How do you get the EL wire to stay on those wireforms?

I "hand pick" my imports, and I always make sure my games have EXCELLENT playfields. The end result is better for me and the new owner 

EL wire is held in position by strategically placing sticky tape over the wireform and EL wire. It is almost invisible. Trial and error results in the EL wire not interfering with the ball travel !
