I love the massive volume of intermediate collectors and repair guys doing videos on the web. It makes me feel so much better about my own inabilities.
That brings back memories, I don't know how many pinball machines I worked on when I worked for my uncle back in the mid 1980's. I can still smell the mineral spirits cleaner I used to clean the playfield and the rubber smell of the bumpers.
n00bszpro, Yes, you can actually play without the glass but it's just very loud! Also, you have to watch out for the ball. You might have had an instance where the ball hit the glass well if the glass is not there you might want to watch out! We have also featured your question on episode 4 of our Q&A podcast. Please listen to it on our site for more of our thoughts on this question.
first time pinball owner and u hepled me out a lot thanks! cant quite seem to lock the bar back down. the lock bar wont go back to the right after i push down into place the bar..
If on a very flat clean surface (glass can be used) you can carefully use a heatgun to melt the playfield plastics flat and put a heavy nontextured object on until cooled (maybe 15-20 seconds). Works faster than baking, at least in my experiences.

I'm going to bookmark this video. I'm in the hunt for a Twilgiht Zone pinball. Should be easy to find in Texas.
I got 3 pinball machines, they all need work, had them around 20 years, cool video, "Steeljaws game room"
