I know on this site mylar is basically considered evil on your playfield, but most of that mylar is 20+ years old! How does brand new stuff stack up against a clear coat?
I'm doing a fairly extensive restore on a Mousin' Around, and recently had some art touched up on the playfield with a plan of having it professionally clearcoated after the touchups.
Well, the touchups aren't perfect, and I am now wondering if I should spend the fairly hefty sum of cash to clear this specific playfield.
Options are:
1 - Spend the money to do the clearcoat and have a extremely fast, nice playfield that most would not notice had been touched up (though I would know) Cost - $375
2 - Mylar the playfield and have a clean and probably not quite as fast game, that would still play well, but not have that beautiful clear on it while I wait to find a NOS one. Cost - $25
Thoughts? How much difference would I feel between the 2 options?
