Gottlieb Genesis questions

<< < (3/3)

ChadTower:
I would clear it but practice on something else first.  Get a scrap piece of 1/2" cabinet grade plywood and clear that.  Do it on a couple of them if you want.  Nothing says your first clear job has to be on an actual playfield.

Meh, I found the stuff I have on Genesis is ROMs, flyers, etc but no manual.   :(

grbgemen:
well i have cleared things before, just never a pinball play field.  so i have some experience.  a buddy of my dad does some automotive paint work so i am thinking about asking him. 

still wondering about the screws and posts if i clear.  screw them in to make the wholes and then clear or just screw them in after.

also, thanks for looking for the manual.  i did happen to get one though.  it lists two different coils like my previous post the other day.  it has the
A-17875 as flippers and it has A-20095 as "Super" flippers.  does not say which one to use.  mine has the Super's installed.

ChadTower:

Most people remove everything and then use a poker type tool to reopen the holes after it cures.

see thats what i figured.  thanks.

i guess my last question is do i just screw all the posts and screws in by hand?  and drill any that require to be t-nutted?

ChadTower:

Pretty much, yeah.  If it's not dimpled or anything you'll have to make paper templates from the populated playfield as you go.
