Instead I found a website where the AFM stripping process was meticuously described in detail, in stages, with each stage having a photo and exactly what needs to be taken off (including the number and types of screws, washers, nuts and playfield pieces). So all I had to do, was to take photos of the parts which I had taken off at each stage.<\/p>\n<p>This website belongs to Robert Winter and the relevant pages of Robert&#8217;s site can be found <a title=\"Robert Winter's AFM teardown\" href=\"http:\/\/www.robertwinter.com\/pinball\/restorations\/afm\/teardown\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.
