    Quoted from pinhead52:

    The other dilemma, do i clear this beautiful WK pf?

    I would Auto clear it, no hesitation. I did with my QD and plan to do so with the 2001, ACD, and Wizard playfields. The slickness of the clear actually settles down after a hundred plays or so but continues to look good and hold up well.

    Quoted from SteveinTexas:

    The bumper brackets coil stops are riveted not screwed into the bracket and one was worn and too far gone. I want to reuse the original brass bracket, so will drilled out the rivets and replace with the newer stops.

    Won't that change the geometry as the riveted stops are not normally as tall as the replacement stops like you showed in the above photo? That would give a shorter stroke and present as weaker in its action. Unless you modify the plunger shorter the same differential which would then give you the same stroke.

    Or maybe find an acceptable condition used bracket?

    Nice work by the way.
