I am training my gerbil “NATE” to climb through the underside of my PF. I have rigged a small harness with a color wireless camera from a drone. I am in the trading process to acclimate Nate to the rig currently, and think he will be ready in the next few weeks. I think this will then allow me to let the fellow go during gameplay. I am toying with ideas to set up bait stations near the likely component parts like solenoids and flippers. If all works, I will post the video.
Disregard my previous post. Unfortunately Nate was called to that bid run wheel in the sky, vet says autopsy results ready next week. I’m currently looking at other options to continue my playfield maintenance program, please stay tuned.
Nice video! I just bought a no fear pin in early spring and am now ready to some maintenance. My question for you is what about cleaning the ramps? How come you didn't?
I have a williams Jokerz Wild machine (1988) mostly works great. Sometimes the kicker has a hard time kicking the ball into the plunger area to start. Any tips on things to look for?

It's also a good idea to clean off the oil from your fingers after touch the balls to prevent rusting.
Ernie A Good point!
Oil doesn't cause rust...it actually prevents it. Some companies actually ship their pinballs covered in oil to prevent rust from forming in storage.
Don't forget to clean your rubbers too! Glass cleaner works well on those as well.
How often do you clean/wax your tables? Thanks for the video.

What brand do you use for the balls?
Great game. How many machines do you have in the collection?
I don't have a very large collection as it stays pretty fluid. I'm more of a fixer-upper than a collector.
Is invisa glass tempered?
It is not, he talks at 3:20 about how the invisa glass is special because it isn't tempered.
Thanks!
