Youtube: How to remove Plastic Inserts from a Pinball Playfield

I made a new video demonstrating how to properly remove an insert from a pinball playfield.  It was surprisingly easy.

Looking back I can’t believe I didn’t post this a long time ago!  I made a video showing how to drill the third magnet hole in a Twilight Zone playfield.  When I decided to send out my playfield to be restored I decided to go ahead and drill the third magnet on my playfield.  Prototype games were designed to have a third magnet on the playfield and this was dropped from the production games.

Here is the video:

I did make two tiny mistakes though… watch the video to see what I did :)

I made a few vids and uploaded them to YouTube not too long ago.  When you decide to install a set of $300 decals on a pinball machine you better do them right!  The videos below are from my Indiana Jones restoration.  Look for vids from my upcoming Attack from Mars restoration that I will be starting after we have moved :)
