Rocky & Bullwinkle: replacing the feetsies

This had been lingering on the todo list:  replace the icky metal feet on this machine, increase the playfield slant, and get it all levelled.
I had the parts since the Pinball Expo, but easier said than done!  You want get the feet off?  You have to support the machine.  Always work late at night, alone?  Then you gotta do it yourself.

The screws and bolts were covered in gunk, which I limited via some Simple Green.  But taking a wrench to the bolts yielded no results, they were just too rusted.
Desperate, I poured 70% isopropyl alcohol over them, cleaned that 15 seconds later, and tried again.  SUCCESS!  The wrench moved the bolt, and after much struggle I was working them off.

Doing each replacement required being under the machine and supporting the leg's weight with my back.  This is on solid concrete, with all that weight on my knees, a hot LCD torch in my face illuminating everything.  Not a pretty site.

But successful nonetheless.  I got new leg levelers, attached rubber casters, and then put moving pads under those.

the old hardware.  ick.
