i have a 1967 Wlliams Touchdown pinball machine and i bought my rubber rings from Marco Pinball. Do i have to unscrew all the plastic tops in order to replace the rings? The rubber rings, I don't think, have ever been changed...one of them has already been broken off.
Yes, unfortunately on most objects you will have to unscrew everything except for a rubber here and there. It's OK. It's an opportunity to clean and inspect everything, clean switches that come through the playfield and replace bulbs. Clean up the plastics. While you're at it, replace the ball as well. It seems like a pain and sometimes it's scary the first time or 2 but you'll gain confidence. The reward is worth it. Even if you've had the game for years, it'll look and feel like a new game again. Feel free to email if you have questions. Pinmonkeyinfo@gmail.com. Thanks for watching.
First: switch off pinball !!! If you are an expert it's not the case of everybody. So first : switch off pinball and remove ac wire connection from you wall
As an electrician by trade, I know how to work around live components but whenever possible I always turn them off. Yes, technically, and for the best safety practices you should unplug the game from the wall whether you know what you're doing or not. Thanks for watching.

Do you know where and what to buy to change the coin door insert cards?
To get the cards, I would look at pinballrebel.com. Usually it's just a pdf that you can print off. Thanks for watching @MrBlake !
