[QUOTE="SKILL_SHOT, post: 52670, member: 837"] Cleaning up GRAND LIZARD is moving along. I spent yesterday tapping down my playfield inserts that were raised, using a hair dryer to heat up the insert I placed a small block of wood on top of the insert and a series of light taps with a hammer on the wood they slowly returned to FLUSH. [B]BEFORE[/B]..........................................................................................[B]AFTER[/B] [IMG]http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac297/NoCalCann/BigGunsSxSinserts_zps6655e453.jpg[/IMG] I also flattend my playfield plastics the same way as before pre-heat my oven to 225 degrees and place the plastics paper on a pizza pan and placed them in the oven for 2-3 minutes pull them out and place another paper on top then a large flat book with mild pressure for 2-3 minutes and if they needed more just repeat the process. This was a little more difficult this time with larger sections that required 2 books to cover the plastics and the flipper lane plastics had riveted metal risers that required multiple heatings and different angle pressing but i got them all flat. [IMG]http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac297/NoCalCann/IMG_4847_zpsd8f59ee6.jpg[/IMG] My flippers are DEAD! The flipper fuse blows at turn on, so I either have a short somewhere.....or a dead flipper coil. I dont know how to test a coil without power so I'll look for any obvious wires touching and keep looking for something. I did notice one of the flippers return spring in 2 pieces that made the flipper weak on the return. Today I'm going to polish my plastics and start cleaning the playfield. everything else on the table works great the display is good all switches report and coils except the flippers. The damaged playfield art....I may just leave it get the table playing and flip it. [/QUOTE]
