I too have a HS sitting right next to a F14. To me, they're like sister games.

As for your decals, if you can take a photo of a good insert you can upload an image to http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

The site will tell you what font it is, and if you have a copy of Photoshop or other imaging software, you can make your own insert decals. That's what I am going to do, when I get my inserts leveled.

I had that same idea. Hopefully I can visit a model shop over the weekend.

Please post photos of what you come up with.

Here's the thread. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/high-speed-clear-ramp

Freeplay40 is a great guy. For me it was well worth the money to send the parts to him and let him do the riveting.

I drilled out the rivets, from the parts on the old ramp and shipped them to him. He polished my ramp parts and then installed them on the new ramp.

He even helped me out with a part that I didn't know my ramp was missing.

WOW, that new playfield looks good. I need one for mine.

Has anyone seen one of the restored playfields that are sanded down to bare wood, and then ink printed to the prepped surface?

I have a totally worn out playfied, and the one currently in my HS has damage from removing the mylar.

As mentioned, it could be a grounding issue.

Make sure that all your boards in the backbox have all their screws. This is one way the boards are grounded. Also check to make sure there are no breaks in the grounding braid that runs through the backbox, lower cabinet, and under the playfield.

I've been asking if anyone knows how they turn out. Since it's an inkjet process, I wondered if the colors are as saturated, and if there is any visible banding.

Mof, have you laid eyes on one?

Any of the major seller's LEDs will work fine. I have a mix of Comet and Titan LEDs in mine. No reason, other than that's what I had on hand.

One thing to keep in mind is don't buy the brightest ones they sell. In my experience the really bright ones tend to spotlight a small area instead of blending in. You'll see a small "hot spot" shining through the backglass. It's for this reason that I would also personally use frosted LEDs, rather than the clear ones. However, it's all personal preference.

It's most likely, the most often broken plastic on the game. Buy the clear plastic protector to go with it.
