In this tech video, we start to restore the Play Ball Pinball machine. I start off by depopulating the playfield, remove the Asbestos in the machine and give a brief understanding why it's there and then start to clean the cabinet in and out.

All this and more in this video...

That is amazing! I have an old EM (Telodo) that I really need to clean up... I find a lot of the contacts on the relays are sticking or not making contact any more ... I read the best way to fix them is to use a light file to get rid of any build up and then a tiny dab of dialectric grease ... Other than replacing all of the contacts, what would you recommend?

That's what I have heard as well. I don't have a file, I will be using light grit sandpaper. I will be working on it this weekend. Good luck on your restore!!!

Thanks! you as well, these EM machines are so finicky, yet satisfying to work on ...I look forward to see how you repair the pain on the cab. I need to fix the side where someone carved F**K YOU on it. But for a 200 buck score, you take what you get ..
