I am trying to gauge the amount of potential interest in having Mantis Amustments (Kerry Stair) create a Mantis protector for the Crypt Keeper scoop hole for TFTC. I realize that you can purchase a Cliffy protector for this same purpose and the Cliffy protector does a very nice job and looks very nice as well in addition to covering up any existing scoop hole damage.
The Mantis protector sits down in the scoop hole and as a result doesn't come into contact with the pinball on the playfield. On occasion a slow rolling pinball may get slightly diverted when coming into contact with the edge of a Cliffy protector on the playfield. For those of you not familiar with the Mantis style protector I have attached a couple of photos showing Mantis protectors installed in my CFTBL and JP as well as a photo showing a Cliffy protector installed on my TFTC.
If any of you are interested in a Mantis style protector for the Crypt Keeper scoop hole in TFTC please chime in with your opinion. If there is enough interest then it may become a worthwhile project for Kerry to undertake.
