Quoted from Colsond3:

Playfield clear is done!

When you had sohchx clear your playfield, did you strip the rear of the playfield as well? I'm looking for someone local(ish) who would be willing to touchup and clearcoat my Captain Fantastic playfield, but I'd rather not strip everything off of the back.

Quoted from sohchx:

I think I'm to far away from him Colson. He wants someone that's closer to home.

I don't mind a good road trip now and again! I'll shoot you a PM, if you don't mind.

As an aside, I have to say, Bally really had some interesting engineering features in their early EMs. Playfield hinges are pretty cool. It's a shame they didn't continue with that. I can see how the glass lifter could be both a blessing and a curse, and that wood/metal hybrid coin door is interesting.

As always, really excellent job! It's always nice to see an EM get the "royal treatment."

Just stopping by to say how beautiful your game was in person! Thanks for sharing it with us all at Allentown. Sorry I didn't see you in person this year; I would've loved to catch up a bit and talk about your restore process on it.

It's funny, when I saw the spooksville, I thought it'd be something you'd have liked. I should've sent you a text, but I was rushing around on Saturday with the fiancé... Next time I'll make sure you don't miss out. I'm glad you're recovering well!
