Shop Level 1

This can only be done at the shop. Playfield is stripped down for a complete cleaning and inspection. Every element of the game is checked, cleaned, adjusted, repaired or replaced as necessary. Many worn parts are replaced with new parts even though they may not actually be broken to bring the game play back to factory new. Game is restored to as close to new condition as possible and cosmetics are given the same attention. Typically requires 12 to 20 hours labor depending on condition and complexity of playfield.
