Quoted from KeithinMI:Only been waiting like 6 years for this to show up
So now the fun part begins. My first question is -- Do I need a rotisserie to do a playfield swap (or two of them - one for the old pf and one for the new)?
Any feedback about whether I should have a Kruzman clearcoat put on it before I even begin?
TIA
Depends how your clear looks now, if this is brand spank-me new I would let the clear set up for a while and make sure nothing changes. I have heard stories of some people's playfields developing an unevenness or texture in the clear, but I think that was because they didn't leave the box open for curing. As far as having Ron clear it, that is more of a personal preference than a necessity. The CPR coating should be totally fine.
A rotisserie is very handy for doing the swap. It will save wear and tear on the playfield as you flip from top to bottom. You won't need one for the old playfield because you won't be transferring anything over directly. Everything will have to be cleaned and/or serviced first.
Congrats on the new playfield. It will be an awesome game when you are done!
