It was played with in the past. I'm not sure if the artwork was painted underneath. Orbiter 1 has a clear PF with a moonscape below. I remember way back people discussing hole stripping, polishing cloudiness, dust attraction . . . I'll have to go way back and read again.

Very interesting. Also this quote soon after -

I don't think anyone is saying either. My first thought was the interviewer mis-heard him say 8%. But the fact that he continued to stress that private owners expect perfection means this was an important topic.

Very interesting if true.

Good question. It might just be that it is hard to track. Is there a difference in paperwork when a distributor sells to an operator versus a private collector?

It is all your fault. Because of you Lloyd got to slip in a WWE joke.

It is not only the distance from the power supply. Now you are routing wall power from the head to the cabinet and the head folds and have to account for that. I'll bet this creates the possibility to pinch the wire and create a short. So now you created a hazard with the game off.

Don't say this. Vid will post a link for you to his own thread telling you differently. If he already put it in a thread you must be wrong. No matter how many people have discovered the truth.

Remember all old playfields are pounded completely flat. Even if this means the areas the balls can't reach like the last 1/2" around posts and just non-ball areas. I can draw a diagram showing a logical thought but then I would get bombarded by Kool-Aid drinkers.

So wood has not changed EVER.

I thought the one thing every playfield restorer actually agrees on is that the "hardcoat" coating has changed. The old processes of coating, diamond plating or whatever was actually yellowish. The new clears are crystal clear.

Has happened many times. Always check your balls (no pun).

Extra add on from $tern

And if Stern said tomorrow "Star War LE $10K only 200 being made!" guess how many scabs will cross the picket line. I'd guess 200 within 48 hours.

I was going to say something mean. But this fits also -

White Water ramp - Great design and satisfying shot to hear.

TZ- Bad design with weak target next to the slot.

TOTAN ball launch - infuriating PITA on an otherwise close to perfect designed game.
