Quoted from ryanbrooks:

How bad is your playfield? Have you considered sending it to a playfield restoration specialist?

Not many people will restore worn playfields anymore. And it they do it's very very expensive or a shitty job.

Quoted from timab2000:

I think that Hardtops are going to be the way to go in the future. No more dealing with wood and the quality of it and all the clear coating crap that goes along with it.
I know that there are a lot of haters of such a thought, but I really like the one that I got for my EK. Would certainly buy another one for a different game.

Meh

Quoted from pookycade:

Not sure I entirely agree with this. Nothing is full proof. But really, are you saying that an email or several emails to confirm is a worse process than making 70 instead of 100 because you assume 1/3 of the people won’t buy one. And hey they can run their own business any way they want, but if they desire to keep the same system they at a minimum can better set customer expectations by saying 1) a position on the pre-order list does not absolutely guarantee you a playfield and 2) when they run out contact the people remaining on the list and profusely apologize. They want it both ways here: emphasize all the great things they have done for the hobby (and they rightfully deserve that tag and respect from all of us), take no responsibility for their disappointed customers other than to come on here and say it’s a necessary business decision. OK, but I’m not sure any customer relations expert would agree with that approach. When someone complains about my arcade I instantly offer a full refund and apologize that we didn’t meet their needs, whether it’s our fault or not. I screwed up royally and scheduled two parties for the same time. I made the parties free and provided gift cards to both. Keeping people happy is part of the job. You don’t want to be a total pushover, but it would serve them well in the long run than the legacy of these crappy threads. I will give them credit for responding with an explanation. I will absolutely not give them credit for showing any level of contrition whatsoever in the process

I've been making a list to get a gottlie playfield done by wade. Took around a year to get 20 people interested. After that I needed confirmation from all 20 plus email addresses to send to wade.
Took me almost a month to get responses from 18 of the people. 2 of them still haven't replied. And this is just for 20 people.

And this is what it looks like with the pin on and NO glass on the pin. Not knocking the product at all
