• Playfield
Playfield life expectancy and play can be extended by periodic cleaning. Inspect and
hand polish the balls in a clean cloth. Replace chipped balls: otherwise, these balls
will ruin the playfield finish in a short time. Don't use quantities ofwater, caustic
or abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads on the playfield. Don't allowpolish or wax to
build-up, (waxes yellowwith age and spoil the appearance of the playfield).
• Switches
Switch contacts should be free of dust, dirt, and corrosion. Filing or burnishtng
most switch contacts breaks the finish and encourages corrosion . Effective contact
cleaning requires gentler treatment. Gently close the contacts on a clean business
card or piece of paper. Wipe the contacts until they're clean. If necessary, regap
the contacts to 1/16 inch.
Flipper End-of-Stroke switch contacts must be treated differently from other switch
blade contacts; they provide heavier current carrying capability than other pinball
game switch contacts. Severely pitted contacts cause flippers to be weak. Smooth
the pitted contact surface of the E.O.S. switch contacts with a contact file. Then,
polish yo~r work with a burnishing tool. Regap the contacts if necessary, to 1/16
inch.
