Cleaned the plunger–it was really dirty. After cleaning it was much smoother.

Closed Problem: The plunger feels "sticky". Doesn't have that smooth feel when pulling back. It can still plunge the ball up to the top of playfield, but will need to be properly examined.

Routine: Clean the playfield

Guest made me aware of a stuck ball from the previous day, I removed it.

Closed Problem: Flipper rubbers need cleaning or perhaps replacement

Upper flipper wasn’t consistently returning to the resting position: the metal plunger tip had mushroomed. Used Dremel to clean up the plunger tip and replaced the plastic sleeve.

Also, replaced all of the flipper elastic bands.

Leveled playfield, machine was leaning hard to the left. I was able to lift it up and even it out to the best of my ability.

Replaced. LED was there, used #906 as replacement

Closed Problem: One LED flasher bulb is dead. I swapped it with another bulb to ensure the problem was the bulb and nothing else. The current bad bulb is in the upper playfield right side. This socket had also fallen out of its holder. The clips do not hold tightly.

Clipped LED socket back into holder

Closed Problem: Led fell out of red flasher on right side of the playfield

Playfield was looking a little dirty, cleaned with wax.
Re-leveled the game to be less steep and hopefully give the kids a fighting chance on this game.
