Quoted from TicTacSeth:I’m in the club, Goose!
Just picked one up and brought it home. The guy said he had to it for 20 years! Turned it on and there were some switch errors. I’ll check later what they were. Hopefully the work I’ve done on Space Station will pay off. No toppers which is a bummer, so need to figure out something for that. Was super glad that the ancient batteries showed absolutely no corrosion!
Needs a major cleaning, but there is one ugly spot on the playfield! Looks smashed in and chipped away, not sure what would cause that! So thinking I need to hit up a playfield protector if this thing is going to play smooth. But I might also have to pull up the Mylar... if I dare do that. IDK, anyone have thoughts on that?

Same Problem. Got an old one and the mylar was full of bubbles and some damages on the playfield.
Here is my way how I do it:
Think the only way to get a beautiful F14 is to remove the mylar (i used hot air - but the glue remains on the playfield).
Then remove all inserts (Watch they break easily - use hot air to soften glue).
Then clean the playfield with adhesive remover.
Wet grind all inserts and insert them plain on the playfield.
So you have a good ground playfield.
Fill in deep damages to got plain.
Now clearcoat the playfield to get a straight surface.
At this point (if you have a straight surface) you can begin to make the insert decals and correct the damaged parts of the playfield with overlays.
After that you have to clear cote again to save the overlays.
It may be that you have to do it several times.
if you use a strong varnish you do not have to make a protector - otherwise a protector comes on it
I'm working on it right now
best regards Mike
