I have to admit that for a Twilight Zone, this recondition has been much easier than most. After playing a few more games on it, it became apparent that the upper left flipper end of stroke would need to be replaced. An improper part was used the last time it was changed so the flipper was hanging up. Ten minutes later the new one was in and the flippers work great. All ramps shots are made with ease by the lower flippers. The upper right can make the loop with no problem and the upper left has no difficulties making it into the slot machine/piano hole. I cleaned the pop bumper switches and adjusted them a bit. I also had to adjust the upper ramp diverter in front of the mini playfield. I changed a few light bulbs and flashers. Next, I removed the original dot matrix and installed a good display. The game is done. Now to the cabinet. All of these newer games use a sticker for artwork. Since the surface is so smooth, they clean up very easily. I touched up a couple of scratches with black paint. I also touch up most of the carriage bolt heads that were black as well. I used fine steel wool and metal polish to clean and buff the side rails, legs, hold down and shooter assembly. See what you think but it sure looks good to me.
