![]() You'll need to disconnect three connectors before taking the main plastic ramp off the playfield. The wires are long enough to do this without it hanging in mid air. Another connector under the playfield is for the TURTLES lamps in the assembly, however I found it easier to leave this connected and simply let the assembly sit in the game cabinet until it was ready to be reinstalled. Note that the TURTLES lamp assembly is attached with two metal screws, and you need to undo one flashlamp connector (left side) in order to have enough leeway to move the assembly. So, once the ramps and TURTLES light assembly (which sits above the ramp) are off, the rest of the game is quite easy to take apart. The rest of the playfield is a single level with one subway (and reportedly the first use of a subway in pinball).

The customer didn't want the game fully restored to as-new condition, but wanted it fixed to a point it was playable, and given a quick once-over shop job. As the game couldn't boot I wasn't able to test anything in terms of gameplay or mechanical function, but coil plungers seemed to move freely and there was no evidence of any coils having caught fire (always a good sign). Otherwise, the game was in average condition physically, which wouldn't be too hard to fix up. What do you think of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pinball machines? Would you be down to play?
