Here’s my most valued playfield. Does it look familiar Ron?
Thanks, Damon

I didn’t read it as negative at all. The artwork is beautiful and the clear makes it look so deep and detailed.

I think the more people know about the whole process, time and risk.... most people will run to the nearest post office to send their playfield to you.

Does that mean you would do a clear job on a Dolly IF I guy had one? Hahaha. I’m gonna have to ask you again another time after some beers.

Here’s a few close ups of my playfield before Ron laid his hands on it.

Just blown away!! Thanks so much for producing such quality work. Wrap him up safe and I’ll get him soon. I’m sending the check today, and you know I’ll add on the Kruzman playfield install kit too. Here’s a couple close ups to show the rough spots. Thanks again.

Trying to keep Ron’s awesome work in the spotlight. I’m gonna throw this up to everybody to which playfield you would like to see Ron work his magic. Of course, Ron decides what he wants to do and is in the mood for. So upvote either of my next two pics and we will see what Ron votes for next.
NOS Bally Dolly Parton not drilled or dimpled.

Or, really nice used Bally Embryon field. Would be stunning.

#257 4 years ago

If I remember, Ron, have you offered the service to drill and dimple certain playfields. Can I ask how you do that? Do you have a template from other fields?
I have another Dolly I was gonna copy the holes from, but any insight would be great. After it gets cleared by you of course.

Sounds like your very fortunate with a lot of work in the waiting. That’s awesome! We are at 7 votes Dolly Parton and now 6 votes Embryon. Big question is...what’s your vote? No hurry.

That Mata Hari is just too much beauty. Incredible artwork and colors. Highlighted by a awesome clear.

#770 3 years ago

Ron, Are you looking for whole working game or project?

#781 3 years ago

Don’t bring the Dolly Parton out until it’s warmer. She doesn’t like to be cold.. ya know?

#797 3 years ago

Has anyone checked on Ron since the cold snap in Midwest? Wellness check time or at least a weekend update is due. Bueller..... Bueller?

#799 3 years ago

^that is one beautiful playfield when cleared. Colors really pop and stand out. It’s gonna be super fast too.

#806 3 years ago

WOW that red lettering is HORRIBLE. Looks like someone used crayons. Misalignment city on that playfield.

Very cool and innovative. But a little unibomber looking. Better do an extra good job on that one.

Wow, that Paragon is gonna need more than a couple thin coats. Haha. It will be beautiful when your done.

That’s one that probably couldn’t be made in today’s climate. I’ve been noticing that my games are getting faster….. as I get older.

Wellness check on Ron. Weather has been better lately so maybe he is sanding up a storm? Come in Ron…

Don’t hate me. I’m gonna go with the smooth standard inserts. I love the color depth of those for sure. But the starbursts take attention away for the playfield art.

Have you ever noticed that in the big cities… the wealthy call it an art form. But if you live in the “sticks” they call you a perve?

That Hotdoggin’ playfield is sweeet! If the owner doesn’t want it, or changes his mind, or can’t pay, I call dibs!
