Disassembly of the playfield

I have now rebuilt the flippers and cleaned the flipper bats before putting them back. There was quite a lot of wear in the old linkage and one coil sleeve was broken, so it was really needed. I played a few games to verify the function and they worked fine.

I have also started the disassembly and done some cleaning of the parts taken out. They are not as brand new after cleaning but they look much better and it’s important to get rid of the dirt and grime else it’s soon brought back to the playfield again.

This is the current state of the playfield. It looks quite naked but there are still parts there that have to be taken out to reach all areas for cleaning and changing rubbers. There are also quite a lot of lamps hidden under ramps and other parts. I will change all that are hard to reach to make sure not to have to take everything apart again soon.
