My Pinball Playfield Swap - Stargate - All Electronics Done!
Buddabing:
I drilled pilot holes for all the metal guide rails. IMO it would have been better to drill pilot holes for all the plastic posts too, before clearing the playfield. When screwing in the plastic posts without pilot holes, the clear lifted slightly, causing a thin white ring around the screw. Nothing that is not covered by the plastic post, and maybe the white ring will settle eventually. But where I drilled the pilot holes for the snubber rails and the other metal bits, there was no white ring, plus I had to pound a whole lot less.
ChadTower:
The NOS playfield didn't have any of those holes already drilled?
Buddabing:
They were "dimples". Basically, it told me where the pieces should go and where to drill the holes.
ChadTower:
I kind of figured that was part of the CNC process... all of those holes. If you had predrilled, wouldn't the clear have just filled the holes anyway?
Buddabing:
Possibly. We'll find out next time. :)
