Bryan, Instead of painting the cabinet where the art work will be applied, I have been using several coats of polyurethane sanding between coats. It seems to do a great job sealing the wood and ends up with a surface as smooth as glass. Have you tried that, and if so do you think it is a good technique. Also, it appears that I have the same screen for the text as you do. How do you screen the patent text with the chocks on? I have to screen first then install the new chocks due to the size of the screen.

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

I think the only thing I take notes on is the location and length of any hex spacers used on the topside of the playfield. You can't tell the length when looking at pics. Otherwise, when it comes time to put it all back, I simply look at my pics in reverse order.

At this point I take pic’s of the location of the hex spacers and print them out. I then write the length of the spacers on the pic,s. Works well for me to get the spacers back to the right location.

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

Personally, I think the metal protectors Stern came out with are one of the most revolutionary "mods" in the last few years. Of course, they had to come up with something once they went to installing decals for their artwork to prevent wrinkling. No other protector makes sense to me when installing artwork and protecting it. It's completely hidden and keeps the leg from coming in contact with the cabinet. I also recommend making sure the leg bolts are good and tight. This prevents the leg from "rocking" and contacting the cabinet if you are one who likes to move your games when playing.

Bryan, Do you know of any way to repair decal wrinkling around the legs?

Quoted from NickRocco:

It looks like I can not purchase new wrappers for a Data East machine so I am going to print my own. Any idea what type of paper I should use? Should it be more of a vinyl or more of an actual paper?

I use Papilio vinyl Here is a link http://www.papilio.com/inkjet%20waterproof%20adhesive%20film%20media.html
