I purchased a pin from rooftop about a month ago.Rooftop is a great guy to deal with. I had a chance to see and play, it sparkles.
No doubt. But it needs touchup and clear. This is a pre-Diamondplate-era game; the insert edges can be seen from the close-up photos. Also, the shape of the lightning bolt inserts leads to almost unavoidable ghosting, especially once mylar is removed. Is the mylar still there, or has it been removed?
Not saying it's not a gorgeous BK2K; clearly, it is. But to call it "collector grade?" That's a stretch, IMO.
Quoted from pinlawyer:But to call it "collector grade?"
pinlawyer- "Almost CQ" Does this sound right? 
"Collector Grade" is as subjective as any other term people use, so I dont have an issue calling it that. Its in very nice shape from the few pics. Looks like mylar on there which is not a bad thing for this game unless you are going real high end restoration which would at least double the price. To give best judge of quality would need to see the magna save and shooter lane + cab pics but GLWS.
Quoted from rooftop:not sure, i bought it from game room collectables in pa about a year ago.
I don't think it is as he sold his about a year ago and he is local. Beautiful game as his was, but given the era of the game, it can be difficult to get over $2200-$2700 for such a game. Good luck and a bump for a fellow NE guy!

Did you get other pics?
Just wondering. The ones posted here looked to me like it was clear coated. I have never seen any mylar that shiny.

I agree it looks like the mylar was removed and the playfield was clear coated.
If the mylar is still on...how was it restored to be so shiny again?
BK2K is a highly addictive game. Played it Friday night extensively and am hooked. I have been looking for this game for over a year and it ended up in a good friends collection last week. Is this mylar or clearcoated OP? I am curious now. I don't see the edges of the mylar as Sarge has stated.
Quoted from Squeakman:it ended up in a good friends collection last week.
I'm touched 
If I was posting a machine for sale, stating whether or not it had a mylar would be in the description, people shouldn't have to speculate and play guessing games to figure it out.

He offered to send more pics on request. Chill out. If you're interested in buying it, I'm sure he'll let you know e status of everything. BK2K is just below banzai run in terms of system 11 desirability. Very pretty machine. I wouldn't be surprised of this goes for abut 3k

Yep, getting much harder to find. A friend just sold his for $2500 last year in July.
thank you anim8ormatt for standing up for me, but i expect to hear something from the over opinionated peanut gallery no mater how i list an item, it just comes with the territory, yes it is mylar and a dam nice one at that, i included a photo showing the edge, also one showing the magna save area, my favorite part of these forums is listening to the people who dont have any intention, of buying anything run their sucks.

So how have you gotten the mylar to look so nice?
Quoted from thedarkknight77:Is this Dan's old game?
No, it's not. Mine went to another NEACF collector from ME. I believe Rooftop bought my Earthshaker though.
hey riggy, earthshaker is doing well, full leds, some new plastics, full flipper rebuild, and a general cleaning, great game thanx for a solid sale, oh and by the way donjagra, do you think i dont know my own game? its a mylared play field , now move on.
Quoted from donjagra:that looks more like a reflection than a mylar line.
So you still don't believe him after he says thats the mylar line? LOL
Quoted from ashburton:Are you a Marine? If not, please refrain from using this terminology. Seriously though, that is a great looking machine, reminds me of the opening scene from The Stand.
Really?? We're telling others how to talk now? Semper fi.
this game plays great, and looks great. played it a few times before shawn got it. i almost bought it for my collection.
Quoted from Anim8ormatt:Really?? We're telling others how to talk now? Semper fi.
Just a joke. Lol it makes my skin crawl to here or read "run your suck". Pinball is my escape from the Corps.

Ah. I missed the joke as often happens with text based forums. Seriously though, Thank you, thank you, thank you for serving.

Quoted from theBRAIN:So how have you gotten the mylar to look so nice?
the Treasure Cove kit will make mylar mirror-like and damn-near invisible. Just sayin'

I have not had that much luck getting the mylat to shine like that. Any tricks? I have the TC kit. Am I doing something wrong?
