Sinbad: pops rebuilt, cab metal installed, playfield in
Got the pops reassembled — they look great and will perform so much better with the new coil sleeves, clean switches, and all the gunky buildup removed.

Spent a good deal of time cleaning and scrubbing these metal pieces. There were a number of small rust spots on most of these and a some general corrosion. I still need to polish and wax them but they are super shiny and wonderful already. Naptha cleaned the playfield, then waxed it four times. Also…
