Got my restoration done(except for flasher domes). The hard top plays great and I am happy with how my first one turned out. Great product and can’t wait to see more titles available.

Quoted from yellowghost:I wish they would let us know whats in the future plans. What they can or wish to produce hard-tops for. What they already have art for etc. I would pay more attention to them if I knew that something I need is in the pipe-line.
But as soon as they do, it’s an endless thread about when when when. We enthusiasts are our own worst enemy.

Some final pics of my High Speed hardtop. I waxed it and played some games. Plays perfectly. Great product and will use again to bring back a beater.

Should I fill with plastic wood and sand flush?

Personally I wouldn’t worry about that. The hardtop will cover that and isn’t pliable enough to matter. I might be wrong, just my opinion.
Finally got my hardtop restoration completely done and added rail lights. Before and after. Someone had actually brushed on some kind of “clearcoat” that was painted on everything. Plastics, bulbs, sockets, etc…even the tops of the flipper bats. It bonded everything together. WTH. I’d like to kick whoever that was in the nuts.

Quoted from Grauwulf:Aflacjack It's too bad that they sprayed that PF and did it so poorly, from what I can see in the before pics, it really didn't look like it was in totally awful shape!
When I first saw it I thought the same…but there were some large parts of the playfield where the art was just flaking off bad. You can see it here.

I did. Hahahaha. I probably overdid it on the sanding. I used 60, 120,240,480,640,880, 1000,1200,1500, and 2000. In retrospect I wouldn’t do that much again. Took a loooong time, but boy was it smooth.
