I am planning on restoring the playfield for my High Speed this summer. I am collecting parts and knowledge right now. I restored the cabinet and head about 5 years ago, and it's near perfect. Now comes the playfield.
I was sent the artwork for the top, and want to do a reprint, not a mylar overlay. My understanding is once I remove all the parts from the playfield, I send the playfield away, and the guy will run it through a thickness planer to shave off 1/32 and make the top perfectly smooth, then reprint. I forget that company that does this - will check my emails. If you have any suggestions for people that do reprints please comment.
So far I have almost all the parts I need except a few playfield plastics. I see I can buy them online but I'm holding off until I get the right ones at a good price.
What are good forums and things I should read and know before beginning this project?
