Rear of the cel starting to come apart. When left with an empty plastic shell, It was washed and scrubbed with washing up liquid and hosed down afterwards and left in the sun to dry The same went for all the ball paths, After the sensors and wiring removed, They were taken apart and washed.

The flower was stripped and cleaned using water and a mild cleaning agent, The red flashing lamp, was dismantled, cleaned and reassembled.
The only thing I didn't take a part was the butterfly unit, Although I did remove the cover for cleaning, and clean the tops of the leds inside.
All the leds needed was a quick wipe with a moist cotton bud. (Q-tip)

Stuck the cel back in the frame and dropped balls through the pockets to confirm everything working, Wait to hit jackpot to test the trapdoor opens and closes again after 8 balls, then make sure the tulip opens and closes during high probability mode. Everything seems to work ok

The lighting seems so much more brighter now, There are still a few little marks on the playing field I want to clean with the pica brush, Then start on the waste ball paths in the back of the frame and clean the shooter assembly and feed tray.

Lookin' Purdy!
Something tells me this isn't going cheap on ebay.

[p.opus]

Yeah, but will people appreciate how much work went into that...

[emmadog]

Nice job, DC.

[Wayne-Ooo]

Looks Great!!!

It's well worth the time and the extent you need to go to clean a machine up. I'm not one to sit at a machine and look at how dirty it is. I'd rather sit there and look at how clean and shiny it is and knowing everything is in good working condition.

Again, Looks Great and Great Job!

[hanabi]

Now that's what you call a proper cleaning

[Drunkenclam]

Yeah, but will people appreciate how much work went into that...

Maybe, maybe not. But they would moan like hell if they thought it was filthy. Either try and reduce the price or will not get repeat business. Plus I wouldn't sell something I'm not happy with.

[MrGneiss]

If you ever get bored you are more than welcome to clean all my machines!!
