Quoted from mrm_4:I thought about going this route. I’m told that the red bull can of a cap going bad is like 1 in a million though.
More than anything, the inline fuses was sale For me...this was corrected in newer machines. I was Sold on it...LOL
Quoted from mrm_4:I like CPRs version of the out lane plastics but they don’t have enough red for me so I took a stab at making my own version but as a decal. I think they look pretty sweet.

Quoted from mrm_4:Spent the majority of the day putting the cab back together. My wife suggested that I leave the lockdown bar stainless. After seeing it I’m going forward with painting it black.
Starting to get excited about this game.

Quoted from mrm_4:Well tragedy strikes the playfield.
While installing the flipper coil mechs I didn’t notice that the pin in the back of the playfield for adjusting flipper height had come out of the playfield.
So as I began to screw in the plate it was lift up by maybe 1/16th an inch and as I tightened the screw it pushed the pin in and raised the clear on the other side causing it to ghost. Maybe the plate was never screwed all the way down to begin with. Who knows but now I have this issue that I can’t unsee. And the flipper doesn’t hide it. It’s too large of a ghost...
Now what do I do?
I guess since it is not over an insert I could exacto the edge of the ghosted area and then eye drop clear in that area then sand it level and polish out. Might be a risky repair but the idea of this playfield having ghosting after everything makes me nauseous.

Pan back on the picture, I have an idea maybe....
Quoted from Schwaggs:The other thing to consider is a flipper bat will be covering 1/2 of that spot plus the other 1/2 will be in it's shadow. It might not be nearly as noticeable once the flippers are installed.
I had a Sorcerer someone screwed In from bottom. The screw pushed up the mylar and cracked the new clearcoat. It looked Really nasty. Right smack in the middle of the inlane feed to the right flipper. Sanded it smooth and put a Cliffy carbon fiber 3M adhesive backed runners for each side. It worked for me and made me happy...Wouldn’t look too good on a brand new restore I guess...
I sold it and the new owner never noticed....my bad.
