PLAYBOY PINBALL CRACK

However this was from the solder, and not the cabinet paint. You can see a very, very slight red colour on that top stick as a result. This was because I rubbed a couple of bits of solder on it to check whether some of my solder was leaded or not. However you may note a slightly red hue to the top test stick. Both are actually negative tests - no red colour was observed. Red dots on the test card indicate a positive reaction as seen in the first and fourth dots. There is also a confirmation card which functions as a positive control to ensure the test is working properly. A red colour will indicate the presence of lead (subject to the minimum detection level and other factors which are explained on the documentation supplied with the test). I wish I had thoroughly cleaned the surface I was testing first, as the stick will collect dust and dirt which makes it difficult to actually observe any colour reaction.

This is primarily a concern when sanding a cabinet back for repair and new artwork, however it's also a concern with extremely damaged side art such as on this game. Pinball machine manufacturers often used lead paint for cabinets. Bally playfields are quite light and can easily be lifted vertically out of the cabinet by one person. Remember to take photos if you're unsure of where plastics or other playfield parts go, particularly if you're disconnecting the playfield to remove it from the cabinet. I found this approach worked best for working on the playfield while it was out of the game. With the drop targets gone, you can more easily place the playfield down on a bench. I found that it made things easier to take off the drop target assembly from underneath the playfield, as it is the largest mechanism attached to the underside. No special precautions needed for disassembly. As well as a few standup targets, that's all there is to it.
