Quoted from dmacy:

Posts are all in so testing some post and ring options. Wondering if red ring on left kicker and blue ring on right with clear posts (instead of blue and/or red) would look good? Has anyone seen that done?

If you use a red ring on the left kicker then use red posts too.

Some random shots of it in progress of soldering and installing switches.

Looking great, F-14 sure has a lot going on under the hood.

I have a new PF by the same manufacturer, have you noticed any problems with the clear lifting when you run in screws?

Quoted from dmacy:

So far, no issues. I do prep every hole in advance before screwing down with Ron’s kit and that helps.

I was under the impression that this type of prep isn't needed on his PFs.

Quoted from dmacy:

All playfields with clear coat will need that prep.

HEP doesn't do it to the PFs that he clears, one of the main reason that he reclears most of the PFs he works on.
