    Hardtop is an excellent product. Anyone else that says different is a pinball snob.

    Keep in mind that hardtops don’t seem to have the problems of bad colors, missing artwork, or missing woodworking that the products of a certain reproduction playfield manufacturer have been sending out lately.

    Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

    In order of preference:
    1. Clear coated NOS playfield swap.
    2. HUO excellent condition unmolested pinball playfield.
    3. CPR playfield swap
    4. Nicely touched up original and cleared playfield
    5. Hardtop playfield
    6. Expertly installed overlay with automotive clear over top.
    7. Original playfield with redone inserts and touchups (no clear).
    8. Original playfield with redone inserts and touchups with playfield protector
    9. Original playfield with heavy wear, but smooth and flat inserts.
    10. Original playfield with heavy wear, and uneven inserts that can catch the ball.
    11. Expertly installed overlay with no clear.
    12. Ammature installed overlay with no clear.
    13. Playfield sanded down for the the "whitewood look" and left alone

    Sataneatscheese,
    This is an very educational pinside thread on a certain reproduction playfield and will probably change how you rank things.
