Congrats!  Sometimes it is like you are a not a repairman, but a detective.

  You can use any window cleaner(without amonia) to clean the playfield. Or better yet use Novus. Then use the wax. Inspect the balls, old nasty balls do more damage to a playfield then anything else. They are only $1 to $1.25 ea for new ones. Next time take me, and I'll pick the machine apart real good for you.

Yeah, Tom, after I spoke to you, I had a different attitude when I was going to look. My buddy is a quiet guy who never has much to say... apparently at someone else's house, he can't keep his mouth shut....

I was going to give you a call today, but the kids and weather got ahead of me..

Bubba check out the pin repair guides at the marvin3m site.  Clay who wrote them is a great guy and seems to be a pure genius when it comes to pins.  For real dirty playfields I use a mister clean magic eraser dipped in rubbing alcohol followed by novus 2.  If it's not bad I just use the novus 2. I then follow any cleaning with3 or 4 coats of a good carnuba wax and always ditch the ball and through a new one in.

Cool.. thanks for the link. Hopefully I'll be getting the new rubber kit soon. When I get that, I plan on getting into the machine and giving it a really good cleaning.. I'm going to get some of that Novus as well.
