The playfield cleaned and polished up very nice. Not much wear at all. All the other playfield parts were cleaned in the Ultrasonic, metal were tumbled. New LEDs, Rubbers etc. I like to take my time with the LED placement.







Upper Playfield is an absolute PEST to dismantle and re assemble. One aspect I've never liked is the bushings are on the lower playfield, and the flippers can scratch the upper playfield surface. To fix this, I use a plastic washer, that is the same diameter as the flipper shaft. It also keeps the flipper bat more stable.






Mini Playfield installed - all adjustments need to be made now - for example the VUK metal rail from the bottom to the top playfield. This needs to be adjusted so the ball drops on the top playfield correctly.





Dialing in the LEDs and pre testing ..






I tried a few different approaches to lighting the translite. I ended up usig the same Superbrites I've been using for years, but the "spotlights" are well lit and look like the lights in a spotlight.
