Almost finished with the reassembly. Replaced the left-hand ramp with a reproduction that I ordered from Bay Area Amusements a few years ago. The old one had a metal strap on the left that broke:
It doesn’t look like much, but it totally screwed up the way the ball exited the ramp.
As I was putting stuff together, I noticed two spots where I think there might have been Mongol figures. One above the upper-right flipper, and another to the left of the left ramp. Each spot features two perfectly placed hex screws just sitting there doing nothing.
I wonder if they were separated from my machine sometime in its past by a previous owner. Must investigate.
Another oddity… After putting in the new plastics I had two extra pieces that didn’t match anything on the playfield. They seemed to fit perfectly over each ramp though. Here they are placed over where they seem to fit. Note the right-hand ramp piece is green because it still has the protective sheeting on it.
Again, must investigate.
