Such Thing As A Semi-Shop?

<< < (2/2)

Chris:
When I did my Fan-Tas-Tic, I only removed parts on the playfield down near the front where it was dirtiest and most visible.  For the rest I just removed the rubbers and cleaned and waxed carefully around the posts.  Fortunately, the previous owner had recently replaced the rubbers; I only had to change the worn shooter tip and the flipper rubbers (because he used the wrong color).

So it plays well and looks good, but if I sold it I wouldn't claim it as being "fully shopped".

Besides, over-cleaning can be more destructive than helpful... trying to fix my backglass made it worse, and trying to take out swirl marks damaged the finish.  Sharidan and ChadTower tried to warn me about that but I had to learn the hard way...
