Definately. The cabinet is painted black!!
Thats why I need to know how to take the guide things off %$%
Best way to remove the siderail nails is to drill the heads off, this saves scratching up the rails digging around with a screwdriver.
Once you remove the rails, use a pair of vice grips and twist the nails out like screws.
Greg at Rtbb has the nails and so does Mr Pinball, but I did notice on the Mr pinball nails that I had to cut a bit off the length as they were going to poke through the inside of the cab.
Once you get the screws out fill the holes with dowell and PVA glue.
When you go to put the new nails in you will need to drill a hole for each one as the are not really nails, they are screws and if you try to hammer them in with no hole they will just bend.
Make the hole about the size of the smallest diameter of the thread or a bit smaller and they will hammer in nicely.
