    Angry Help..inside window has tape remnants, how to remove?

    I just received my very first Pachinko.

    I have no idea how to play the game but it's cool and I imagine I can find the rules to Star Wars somewhere on the forum.

    The issue is on the inside door there appears to be remnants of clear tape that obstruct the view a bit. I cant simply pull of the tape but I am wondering if there is a product out there that removes the adhesive remnants of tape and small pieces of tape? Can anyone advise?
    Also, there is a slight yellow discoloration on the handle. I read someone mentioned Novus as a solution. Can anyone key me in on what that is or offer another solution?


    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Chad

    You can use Goo Gone and it wont damage anything. Its orange scented. DO NOT USE GOOF OFF it will melt the plexi.
    Also the yellow discoloration I'm not sure about. This is just normal wear on the machine. My first machine has it too.

    Thank you for the quick response! I really appreciate it. If it is not too much trouble, may I ask what is the best way to find instructions for the Star Was pachinko game?

    Welcome to PachiTalk!!

    If you check out the 'Research Centre' button at the top of the page,

    there are some FAQ's relating to Pachinko, these are very useful for those
    new to these machines

    Also the Pachinko Museum, again in the Research Centre will probably
    give you some more info regarding the Star Wars Pachinko

    I do know that Arbycoffee (a Moderator here) had manuals in disc form I believe??

    The Star wars is an excellent choice, and the best way to enjoy it is just to play it lots
    and all will be revealed

    You will find it to be quite a popular theme amongst the Members here and
    using the Search facility you will find many threads regarding it

    I have Star wars also and rate it very highly



    ok just found you these links for starters

    Contact arbycoffee he has manuals available. WD-40 works great at cleaning off residue, run down to your local autoparts store and you will find a good plastic polish to clean the machine. you may find that you have to use a fine rubbing compound to clean up the knob first before you use the plastic polish. novus is available on ebay or just use the search function here to find most anything you need to know.

    and WELCOME ABOARD!!

    The yellowish/brownish discoloration is from nicotine and is on all machines, unless you buy it from Arby. Novus should take it out. I've used orange based cleaner for tape goo with great results.

    all the better Star Wars machines have left Japan already last year.

    the ones coming in now aren't up to that quality.
