I'm really hoping someone can help me out for a couple of hours?

I'm totally new to pinball but picked up a Star Wars DE a while back. I'm just in the process of getting it running but need to do a couple of things:

1) Replace the leg brackets - the current threads are knackered, and put it on its legs
2) Solder a bulb on
3) Do some general testing to ensure everything is working as expected, and any troubleshooting if required.

As this is my first pin, I have a good idea of how to do all the above but am worried about damaging things, so was wondering if anyone local might hold my hand, especially with 1)

In return I can probably pay a small amount of money - i'm a bit skint at the moment, but will try and pay a decent amount or can return the favour helping with various videogame things.

Maybe Im just being a wimp and should get on with it

Very kind of you dude! You know a lot more about pins than me!

I did speak to Mr.Wells about it, and asked about charges and advice but he never got back to me. Based on his youtube video it looks like he has plenty on himself.

The legs bolt into a strip that is easily replaced and cheap I am pretty sure

Yup, that is correct. I have replacements, but it involves lifting the playfield and moving it around to get to them, this is what I'm most nervous about doing
