Fonts, fonts, fonts. Just joined the club! Pretty excited to have purchased a Flash Gordon. This one needs a lot of work, and I plan to do a full playfield restore & clearcoat. I've done this on an Eight Ball Deluxe, and I used a cutter to make masks & get my fonts exactly correct. Does anyone know the name of the font or fonts used on the playfield of FG? I need the font for the inset numbers as well as for the lettering ("CLOCK SECONDS", "WHEN LIT", "SUPER BONUS"). I tried using some of the font search tools online, but no luck so far. Does anybody know the name of the font?

I think I need more than fonts.... here’s a few pics of the play field that had been touched up by a previous owner. I think I’ll start my own thread to document this. It’s gonna take some time to rescue this game!

Quoted from FatPanda:

Ooof. That looks terrible. This is a case where I would have preferred a worn original, vs this awful "touch up" job. This may be one case where I would actually go with a hard top, in lieu of what you have there. I'm still holding out for a CPR digital print or rerun.

Yeah, depends. I won’t know for sure until I tear it down completely, cleaned, and maybe hit it with a sander. It needs to be flattened otherwise a clear coat would need to be way too thick to make it flat. I guess if I ruin it, it’s pretty much already gone anyway. Most important to me is playability, and if you look at the pictures closely you can see that the ball will not roll straight with all that touch up on top of the wear. And that’s a problem.
