I'm in the process of doing a full shop-out on a Data East Rocky & Bullwinkle.

I'm intending on having what little damage there is to the playfield touched in and then the whole thing is getting clear coated. Obviously before doing this the mylar needs stripping.

So far i've removed one section from just in front of the Aesop Hole. I've also removed as section of mylar from around the pop bumpers and another at the top above the center lanes. I've also removed two small sections from the return lanes.

It looks to me like there is also mylar just in front of the S-A-V-E-D targets and two semi-circles in front of the slingshots. What is strange is that these sections just don't want to budge. In fact the circle in front of the targets feels recessed instead of standing proud as i'd expect.

Is anyone who's already stripped mylar from an R&B able to confirm if these locations do have mylar and if so did they manage to lift if succesfully?

So far i've been using the freeze spray method and it's worked well, but only after i'd managed to first get a corner lifted.

I'm pretty sure that's not mylar in front of the saved targets. It should have a sort of 'cut' outline around it. You'll want to leave that intact.

It's not mylar - it's an insert which has dropped ever so slightly (i'm talking less than a hairs thickness). I figured this out when I looked at the back and the circle perfectly matches up with where the insert is.

Two semi-circles of mylar in front of the sling though right?

Yep. Getting back to the insert, I've found that slightly sunk-in deal is pretty much universal. There are even nos playfields floating around with that same 'feature'.

Thanks Firebrand.

I've had a look at the mylar in front of the slings and it looks different to the other mylar patches. I'm not sure if it's just thinner or it's been applied in a different way but my gut feeling is that lifting it is going to be a nightmare. It's not bubbling or discoloured; in fact it's barely noticeable.

That being the case I think i'll leave it alone - i've stripped the sections near Aesops Hole, the Pop Bumpers and the top and right side of the outer loop. There were two small patches on the return lanes (below where the habitrails drop the balls) so i've pulled those too.

I've noticed that in addition to that insert being a little low the arrow insert on the top right of the playfield (near the Rhino) is very slightly lifted at the top side. Again it's so minimal that i'm not going to worry about it. If I can find someone to do a proper 2k clearcoat job on it then that should mask the raised and dipped inserts anyway.
