While dismantling the playfield I noticed that the top flipper bats didn’t have their caps anymore and that the left bottom flipperbat had the cap glued on. I had to break it to get it off. Replacement bats have been ordered.<\/p>\n

Dirty and clean contrast<\/p><\/div>\n

Now for the rest of the playfield, metal parts and plastics. Then I can start fixing the sunken inserts. That will be fun…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
