Thank you. I appreciate your content. Im a new pinball owner and want to fix things myself. So far I've watched two of your videos and have fixed two of my problems.

yeah good luck if you ever want to clearcoat that playfield down the road... silicone is not your friend. Also might be a good idea to address dirt on the coil plunger.

Don't ever lube anything on modern machines!

dry lube is the exception.. using something like silicon spray isn't a problem
