Early Bally SS Mylar Removal

Anyone have any experience with early Bally SS mylar removal? I have a Skateball I'm considering doing and am wondering if there is anything I should watch out for, or if there are any methods that work better than others.

Thanks!

Projects okay and prefer reasonable driving distance from the Milwaukee area.

Any leads greatly appreciated.

Re: Black Hole advice

Check the input voltage to the driver transistor just to rule the transistor out.

Re: Black Hole Power Supply Board question

It's not unusual for wire-wound resistors to run too hot to touch, so don't be surprised if that continues after the rebuild. The only way to remedy that is to use a higher wattage resistor.

SOLD: Friendship 7 Project

Picked this up a couple of years ago and never got around to it. Williams 1962 space themed Reverse wedgehead. Had been sitting a long time when I got it. Real nice PF. BG presentable at best (repro's available). Cabinet solid but flaking. If anyone's interested, I will drag it out and take some pic...
