Nice job on the mylar removal , I never wanted to remove mine since I m pretty sure artwork will come with ..

Glad to be in the club , I got a pretty nice exemple , its a classic it wont leave the collection !

I am too scared to remove my Mylar, but it is bubbling pretty bad. Maybe I could find a spare from someone who got the repro and try to fix it up.

Why go through all of that when you can get a clear coated playfield ?

BOP was my first, she started the "sickness" for me. She will never leave!

Save some money?
It's something to do?

Nice work!
I would go the long, slow Goo-Gone process, but let's see what the experts say.

I'm in the club too! I'm planning on new cabinet decals soon as mine is peeling and faded. However my translight is near perfect. It has new ramps installed and the plastics are perfect. The playfield didn't come with mylar so... it doesn't matter because mine is one of the very few Diamond Plated playfields!!! Also min may be sort of a prototype edition as it has electronic flippers I believe Williams was toying with at the time. No leafs or EOS on the flippers. I'm out of town but I will post pics Sunday or Monday.

In the club mine had the Mylar removed pryer to purchase pulled up paint and wood. I'm going to need a new playfield some day.

save some money... sure but you cant compare the two.

something to do... i cant remember the last time i was that bored. besides, if your going to all the trouble of removing everything from the playfield as the pics show, nows the time to get your hands on a new clearcoated one and make the swap !

Can I be in the club too?

Still working on mine...non 2.0, but lots of other junk done to it...

I'm in,got the whole trilogy.Those inserts will clean up nicely,just pulled a mylar up on a Funhouse with raised inserts and they came up a treat.

Ok I'm in. Double vision! (One is not mine as my son bought his own.)

I'm a 2.0 guy but I PROMISE, I'll keep my comments limited to 1.0 issues. Thanks for creating the thread! Oh, I was friends with Python. That was cool!

Edit: I also have a Diamond Plate Playfield and the colors of my big and small wheel inserts are different. I have 3 sets of yellow - it kinda looks like a nuclear hazard symbol.

All new ramps, plastics and helmet. I have two new playfields on order from Peter. (Shhhhhh...Matt is getting his for Christmas.) It will be fun doing two pf swaps, as Matt's really, REALLY needs it badly. Mine is ok, as long as you don't need paint in the pop bumper area.

My game recently got a lot of play at a local show so I'm going to do a mini-shop on it when I can. I originally had removed all of the parts from it and replaced a few plastics when I got it. I have since purchased the CPR plastics set and I was thinking of doing that as well. I put new incandescents in everyplace but the pops since they are more difficult to change and LEDs will avoid cap burn. I did put LED Star Post lights that flash when the sligshots fire. This mod works with any BOP and I think it makes it look more mechanical (like sparks flying when the slings are hit). I had Python sign my backglass and I got John Trudeau to sign it as well. I sold my collection last year and this was one of the 4 games I kept. I'm a huge fan of this title in any incarnation!

Here they are.

I just got another (my 2nd). The pf Is So nice, and I didn't notice any mylar. Did the make any with Diamondplate?
-Allen

Yes they made a few (not sure how many). It will say DiamondPlate in the left outlane.

I did mine myself with hobby paint and I sealed it with super glue and wet sanded it in. Not perfect but people who have played it say that it's one of the nicest they've played. I wouldn't go that far but it's not bad. You can sorta see the results in my restoration thread (pre-2.0) here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/another-bride-gets-the-works-eventually-will-be-a-bop-20-fingers-crossed

Same for me, first game I bought, restored & fell in love with all aspects of the hobby.

Got some other cool lines as well.

This was my systems 11 room but as you can see it has already over-flowed.

And some more over-flow,will swap mousin' around for jokerz! when I can stop playing MM.Can you spot the common thing with all 3 games besides the fact they are all sys 11?

Hi BoP is the first game I purchased and I love it! My PF has bad bubbling and I would like to restore it some day. But for now it plays great!
The only issue I'm having is that intermittently (more often than not though) both balls are realeased into multiball instead of one ball at a time. The problem with this is that, when they are released right on top of one another, sometimes the second ball bounces around when entering the LH flipper return and ends up in the LH outlane immediately... Is this a known issue or am I on my own trying tfigure it out? Is the face outlet stopper solenoid thingy adjustable at all? Could a bad solder connection cause weakening of the solenoid (this happened on my underplayfield kickout solenoid)?
Glad there is a group for BoP 1.0. Can I join? =)

Check whether both of your ball lock microswitches are registering correctly. Other than that, you might need to take apart and clean your post assemble. Maybe the coil sleeve needs to be replaced, or something else is causing friction, preventing the post from returning to the up position in time to stop the second ball from being released.

Since BOP 2.0 is so expensive, has anyone thought about adding WMS DMD hardware to a BOP and reprogramming the main ROM to output some graphics to the DMD (Maybe with OpenWPC or whatever that software is called for reprogramming WPC games). One of the things I think I dislike most about BOP 2.0 is the new audio. But this way you could keep the old audio chip in place, untouched and it would be a lot cheaper than a BOP 2.0. Just requires someone to do the programming.

What you described will basically recreate bop2.0 as you have to replace the same stuff they did to get a dmd running but with used boards. It's not going to be a lot cheaper when you factor in time/labor, Plus paying for programmer. The DP guys are getting fresh voice recordings from the original vocalist.. They're doing it right, but takes money. You can play BOP1.0 on BOP2.0 as well so get two games.

It is pricey when you can compare it against the cost of game, which is prob why the 2.0 model is pretty limited.

Fyi, if anyone does want to go to the 2.0 club, they are about to do another run per website. And just today said final code for bop2.0 is end of this month (with metamorphosis)
