Haha I promised myself I wouldn't make an epic Captain Fantastic thread asking countless inane questions this time.....but, I will try and share the problems I encounter and how I fix them.
 

Hot Tip arrived in horrible condition and I can't believe it's actually working now. That scary moment when I lifted the playfield and saw all those relays....then discovering more in the head. Looking back, it was a good introduction to EMs and how everything works. Yes, all stepper units need to be clean and moving freely.

Cheers!
Adam.
