Quoted from catboxer:

Another vote from me for Baby Pac-Man!

I just restored a baby pac using the mylar overlay from Phoenix Arcades. Nice quality and not too hard to install. Came out great.

Quoted from dq13:

Question: Should the holes in the hardtop be drilled out so all posts sit flush with the original playfield wood? Or is it pending which posts sit on wood and some sit on the hardtop. I know it was mentioned that screwing in posts too tight could lift the hardtop; just confirming the correct methodology.

I've done 5 hardtop now (soon to be 6) and the only thing I've ever had to alter were drop target holes and star roll-overs. The drop targets sometimes can snag on the edge of the hardtop and you just need to file it back ever so slightly. The star roll-over inserts need to be popped out and you must open the hardtop hole up to the correct size. I guess they do this since it's such a critical part of the playdield to line up.
Otherwise most holes for posts are just fine as they are.

Quoted from vid1900:

They have been remade many times before, but because there are 4 different factory variations in the insert colors, nubies always bitch that they were made "wrong"
OE probably does not want the headache[quoted image]

Insert colors wouldn't matter, hardtops use clear "holes" over the inserts. My guess is the headache would come from acquiring the license to Star Trek.

For anyone who's curious. I just received my F-14 Tomcat hardtop and the font issue and the Flight Insurance light have been corrected. This thing looks perfect in every way!
