Thanks, it took many actual sessions of multiple coats. Then lots wetsanding in between and more clearing to get everything nice and even. I touched up the black around the chevron inserts as well.
Thanks oldpinster, this was the first machine I ever had/played. It's defonitely the one that got me into pinball. I think it has some of the best lighting and sounds! Not to mention speed!
PM sent...also, noting that the inserts were touched up, is this NOS or a used PF with touch ups?
Quoted from zippydapinhead:Damn that's tempting.
I'm sure I could do a swap but this would look good when done
I believe that on the wiring side there are dimples that provide hole location information. You may have to use a very small drill bit (1/32) drilling from the wiring side to locate the hole on the artside then use correct size brad point bit to reduce possible cracking and splitting the clearcoat. You determine the hole/drill size based on the hole in your original playfield. Got to make sure you are drilling perpendicular to the playfield surface.
If the playfield doesn't have the dimples to locate the holes you will have to use your original playfield
as a template to locate the holes.
