Always wanted to see how mantis protectors were on a jp. Cliffys seem to effect too many shots. Wondered also if mantis would protect a reformed hole. There has to be historical evidence, right?
Anyway...back to this awesome restoration.
Quoted from lb1:Mantis should work a lot better and they are cheaper too. Cliffy are very sensitive to the shape of the area and can be a pain to make flat against the play field. As you pointed out, they affect the shot. You could couple some small pieces of Mylar with the mantis protector so the mantis forces the mylar to stay against the wall of the hole.
Wow thats a great idea. The rattle rebound of the cliffys made me not want to play jp. It's a great product but helpless against a quick short shot like jp has.
To be honest you could fix a chewed up hole with bubble gum and you would never know it with cliffys.
When the ball rolls right or left it skips right over the cliffys. A straight shot has to be dead perfect or it bounces off the scoop and the metal sides. My last name isn't Sharpe.
I took my cliffys off until i hear more about Mantis. Then i plan to do the rebuild you did. I did one about ten years ago using jb weld but i sold that machine.
Would love to know the Mantis long term effect on holes that have been repaired.
Sorry this thread is taking a left hand turn...

Quoted from Lonzo:Did a little more work on the black insert rings in the pop bumper area.
Then I experimented with paint color for the white tick marks on the colored insert rings. I cut a mask and did the ship insert first.
The paint was close but just a tad darker than the original. But I was not happy with the level of detail with the marks. With such a small area being but on the mask, the corners were not perfect squares. Also as previously mentioned, it takes more paint to get good coverage with white so when pulling the mask off, the marks were just not clean enough for me. So I decided to go another route and try vinyl.
Here is the cut for the same insert.Here us the final product.
I like the sharp look much better. The white is probably just a hair whiter than what is on there but when you put Naphtha on it, they look pretty close. I will use a variation of this for the final version. I ordered some thinner vinyl and will complete when I get it in.
I have zero idea what you did here. Did you change the color of the outline of the boat? Vinyl? What?
Quoted from Lonzo:It's a little harder to see in the pic because of the blue but I am talking about the little white marks that are on the colored part of the insert rings.
You did ALL THAT because of the color of the tiny little white marks on the boat insert?!?!
(can you please come over and work on my machines?)

Quoted from Jenniebear:Did you scan the decals? I need some can't find any. I need the ones from the T-Rex box, mouth and the green leaves from the play field. Bay Area Amusements did sell them but not in stock in months. I just got the plastic set from them. The blue is very dark almost purple. The set of plastics you got from Pinball center what does the blue look like?
If you are talking about the sticker decals, i have them just pm me your email and i can send them to you.

I liked the bleed when I had it because it illuminated the backboard somewhat. Sounds like you are doing something much cooler...?
