So if I'm doing a game with rollovers (Future Spa, for example) the idea is to remove the rollovers, install the hard top and then put the rollovers back in even with the hard top? Makes sense.

Quoted from dnaman:He makes zero on any of the original Ball KISS pins today, zero on any restores and flips.
Did you see the price on the CPR repros? I'd venture to say that licensing was the why.

I built the Skypilot rotisserie a few years ago and added big rubber coasters and a PVC up and over that holds a 2 X 4 LED light panel. It is AWESOME!

Quoted from BigAl56:I am learning is there is a large collectors segment that like it with a worn out playfield and faded cabinet paint. 'Battle scarred' is the rallying cry!
Went to the Phoenix "Zapcon" a few years ago and played a Taxi that had hardly any paint left on the play field. Only bits and pieces under the plastics. Kind of like a stained white wood. Smoothest damn game I ever played. Like, unbelievably, amazingly smooth. I get it.

For any of y'all spending a lot of quality time with a Dremel in your hand, I HIGHLY recommend getting the flex shaft attachment. You will love it!

Products like hard tops, flat packed cabs and yoppsicles have me excited about the future of pinball resto. As much as I like CPR, the last title I purchased (BOPP) had all 10 rollovers completely overflowing with clear coat. Piss poor quality control that took hours of my time to correct. The judges of machines at the last TPF put out a call for maintaining originality in machines. And as much as I can embrace the concept of purity in a resto I am also all for embracing new tech. (Been building gaming systems for years and it took me no time to go from physical hard drives to SSDs. A terabyte on a stick of gum? Yes please!) The whole concept of my company(Third Coast Pinball) is to help regular folk to build a dream classic pin of their own. And thanks to companies like Outside Edge it is more affordable than ever. I have a collection of wrecked classic Bally and Stern playfields I will be hard topping in the near future. Threads like this help us all to learn lessons through others' pain and progress. Keep it up all y'all!!
