My Pinball Playfield Swap - Stargate - All Electronics Done!
ChadTower:
Holy crap that looks sweet. Shiny.
While you're out buying knockers, could you get my wife a new pair?

I made a good bit of progress over the weekend. I moved some of the metal guides over. I cleaned them off with "Stainless Steel Magic". Also, all the plastic posts have been moved now except for the broken ones.
I also posted on RGP about how best to get some of the metal pieces ("snubber rails?") out. I think that's up next. The first method I used was to pull it out with vise grips. This left some scratches on the metal. Next I tried using a plastic putty knife underneath the wire thingy and a chisel to gently pry upwards. The putty knife protects the wood and the chisel doesn't move against the metal and thus doesn't scratch it.
All the plastics are off now. I hit a couple of snags. The first one was where one of the dome nuts that hold the plastics on was stripped. That was solved by peeling the nut apart and then prying the nut off the plastic while applying upwards pressure with vise grips. No damage was done to the top side of the plastic, but I did damage the underside of the plastic with a method that didn't work.
The other snag was where the head of a wood screw sheared off in the new playfield, when it had been screwed in, so it is impossible to remove. I think this should be okay, however.
ChadTower:
Looking damn good.
CheffoJeffo:
That is just so sweet-looking ...
Cheers.

Man... I could not imagine taking all the crap off one playfield and putting it on another. Just with my simple EM machine I'm would look at that as a nightmare.
