Quoted from slochar:

I'd be interested to see what chuckwebster actually meant by restored in this case - he certainly didn't clean under the apron there.
I suppose it's a thing if you're High End Pins....

Not every game is worthy of a $2K+ playfield restoration. Some restorations are just to keep a game from becoming firewood. Here are some before and after pictures. The after picture was before clearing so it doesn't have any gloss to it yet. Looks like the game the game has gotten a lot of use since 2014

Quoted from tyking:

Hell ya, so glad to know more about this pin’s history. It’s like an adopted kid getting reunited with his real parents. When I saw the signature under the apron, I figured that that restoration in 2014 was one that saved the pin’s life. On question though, were you the one who put the MPU J4-11 pin on J4-9 instead Just kidding! It’s playing awesome. Thanks for everything you did to keep the pin alive!

ha- its possible, but unlikely. i recall the game was working correctly When i had it. I didnt keep it too long. Mike Mcgourty purchased it from me and not sure who's had it after that. glad to hear its still working. It's original backglass is hanging on my wall (it's slightly better than the trashed playfield picture). Once Covid is over if you're ever down in the boston area you're welcome to come check out my place- i host the New England Pinball League on friday nights.

Quoted from clodpole:

Hey chuckwebster... the playfield art restoration looks real nice. What was your method and materials?

acrylic paints, removed and leveled all the inserts, waterslide decals to replace missing text and was cleared using varathane in a HPLV paint gun. If i was doing it over again i'd use premium high solid auto clear. I didnt have a safe setup back then to use the toxic good clear.
