You may not be looking to make money but you don't want a money pit either. There will be other pins that you can learn on. You don't have to pay for overpriced junk to do it. My advice. Know what the value of a machine in good condition is and have an educated guess how much it will cost you to get the machine there. If the second is higher than the first, pass, because usually there will be unseen or unknown problems which will crop up and increase the cost of repair. "Don't rush to failure."

i wasn't worried about the glass as i already have some. (just need to cut to fit). for me to be happy with it i need to get the playfields light covers replaced and or level with the play field agian and get the kick out to the plunger working and new rubbers...... other than the flakeing paint and stuff thats all i can tell it needs so to me... i don't think it will be a money pit, as i don't need perfection just for me and my family to mess with. and if all else fails.. take it apart..
Back glass can be touched up and then you use a clear coat to seal it so it stops flaking... I say have fun with it and if its too much to fix it..part it out...lol
You have that backwards. Seal the backglass first with Krylon Triple Thick then do your color touch up.

the back glass doesn't bother me that much its the play field that am more worried about. what kind of paint should i use to touch up and after that what should i put on it to seal it.. then after that is it going to be ok to wax it?
Don't use regular pane glass, it will break if the ball bounces off it! You must use tempered glass and I would imagine if you post here in the WTB section I'm sure you could find a used one pretty cheap.
Let's not get into this crap again with the plate vs. tempered.

lol i guess i will have to search to see what this is all about lol.. but it sucks i have a big sheet of tempered glass but i can't cut it to fit... so i will be looking for one ,as soon as i get the ball kick out to shooter working everytime....
im sure its just a leaf switch somewhere that i missed... i have been cleaning them with card stock. is that the right way to clean the leaf switches... i know that how you just clean points on a motorcycle...
