Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Personally I think a touch up of the axel hole would look better than one of those huge Cliffys. I think the scoop Cliffys for games like this - and MB for example - look like big old stretched out, fat, sloppy, va....well, better just leave it at that.
I agree. A professionally repaired scoop hole in any game would look better. I'll wager even Cliffy himself would tell you that.
The problem is that 96% of the collectors (my guesstimate) don't have the knowledge, skill, tools, time, or money to properly repair a blown out hole such as the one pictured. Google the process to see how detailed and laborious the effort is. Air brush painting alone after wood repair is way beyond my skill level and for most.
The purpose of a Cliffy Protector is to cover the wear and cease any further damage. Most importantly, the average Joe can do it by himself with basic tools sometimes within minutes. And once installed it can make the entire playfield look new. It really is an elegant devise and worth its weight in gold.
Note to OP. Install a Cliffy and then brag about it. Not only looks great but it adds value. I've got one on my game.
I'm re-posting a picture from this thread. Please tell us how you would "Touch up" the Axel hole damage. You make it sound simple.
