With the lower play field given an initial clean and service, it is time to go over the middle area.

It’s covered with a rubber pad used to grip the ball and fling it off (….like a fireball). I won’t be servicing this for now, but will return to it at a later date. The spinner works fine, but really could do with a service.
I will be removing the rest of the mylar up to the pop bumpers, along with servicing the rest of the play field components in that area.
