Started the stripping process last night.  Have stripped and removed the playfield.

Under the playfield the cigarette tar and smell is that thick and strong it looks like the machine has smoked about 5 cartons of cig's everyday of it's life.  It's that bad that I think that I might have to buy some Nicabate patches to get the machine through this hard time. 

Can anyone suggest how many patches a machine this size with such a high dependency on nicotine would require
