does anyone know if the roto decals are the same on King of Diamonds as Diamond Jack? I have not contacted Pinball Rescue yet. Thought I might get my answer here.

And....on KoD Ive found that I have a bare metal line thru the old
art. I touch up the sides of the target with white spray enamale paint
(using a disposable brush). That way you dont see bare metal after the
decal is applied

Great idea on the white enamel. Right nowhere roto is not spinning or scoring :(

Of course the eaiest way to replace the decals is to remove the roto unit, a bit of a pain (especially trying to get the screws restarted in the roto overhang assy). But this allows you to straighten the targets and clean and relube the platter

This should be the default process of 'rebuilding' the unit. Its hard
to believe someone would be afraid of such a simple procedure. Learn to
use your finger along side the screw, at the end of the driver and point
both to the hole and insert. Its like being a kid at first, not sure
what to do but somehow you just get the idea with a little practice and
good intention.

Trick i Learned in the 70's working on cars. A dab of grease inside the screw head will hold it onto the screwdriver just long enough to get it lined up. :)

Or you can just temporarily magnetize the tip of the screwdriver by scraping it across a magnetic surface such as a parts tray. Works great for holding screws at odd angles.
