First Pinball Machine...Have Lots of Noob Questions
I got an Earthshaker last weekend and I am about to order some parts to restore it. Sorry for a ton of questions but I wanted to get your advice because I respect my fellow KLOVers very much and know you guys know your stuff:
If there is a good FAQ to start with, please point me to it. I can't wait to get started on this and I know I'll learn a lot as I go. I've collected vids for over 15 years and know that side of the hobby. Pins are all new to me!
Thanks!
Jeff
I got an Earthshaker last weekend and I am about to order some parts to restore it. Sorry for a ton of questions but I wanted to get your advice because I respect my fellow KLOVers very much and know you guys know your stuff:
- Who are the best parts vendors out there? I know there are a ton of vendors out there and many on ebay, but I want to go to the ones you guys prefer.
- I saw two different "rubber counts" on ebay for Earthshaker. One was 45 pcs and the other 47. They both had flipper rings and shooter tips. Does anyone have a pdf of the layout diagram to show me?
- What do you prefer for cleaning and waxing the playfield? I see some use Novus1, others Novus 2, and some vendors have cleaner/wax combos. That doesn't sound like a good option to me. Anyone have recommendations?
- On my playfield I have several "lenses" above the lamps that look slightly raised above the playfield surface. Is this normal and is there a way to adjust these flush?
If there is a good FAQ to start with, please point me to it. I can't wait to get started on this and I know I'll learn a lot as I go. I've collected vids for over 15 years and know that side of the hobby. Pins are all new to me!
