Sanctum repair and more
Little updates from work I did. I was already planning on getting a new Spanish Eyes backglass because mine has major flaking where each of the bulbs were. The bare lights were distracting me so much during play (after replacing all the bulbs), so today I tried to touch it up and it turned out…

I rebuilt the pop bumpers and flippers and cleaned and changed coil sleeves for all other mechs. I added lights to the eject holes and repopulated the playfield. There are…
