Quoted from wrd1972:

I want to request a custom Hardtop. I would like to have the following all deleted from my BK upper and lower PF hardtops:
-Light Bulb Holes (13 in LPF, 2 in UPF)
-Switch Slots/Holes (5 in LPF, 1 in UPF)
-Wire-form Holes (8 in LPF, 2 in UPF)
-Sling Kicker Slots/Holes (2 in LPF)
-Flipper alignment pin Holes (2 in LPF)
I would prefer to make all of the above holes myself because that will ensure a dead nuts perfect fit, and no "voids" like you would get from the standard hardtop. This will not be very hard at all because I have a 3/16" flush trim bit that will perfectly cut the holes once the HT is stuck. This will give the exact same visual appearance of a brand new playfield, but without all those "voids".[quoted image][quoted image]

Totally Agree!! Would love to have a hardtop with no holes as you do see these when playing. Most folks don't see the wood grain on the Flipper alignment pins, but I see them all the time. Urks the shit out of me as the rest is gorgeous. Painting and clearcoating helps but just to go that little step would be nice. At least in the areas where folks see them.

Quoted from MisterScappy:

My Space Shuttle Hardtop arrived last fall with no holes for the alignment pins or the ball guides under the flippers. I had to drill holes for each, and as a result, no wood shows for these. It was also missing holes in a few other places that worked to the same advantage.

I want to order a Flash Gordon HT as soon as I can find out where. I am hoping that I can get it with these holes not drilled. Would make me so happy.

Curious if Evel Knievel will be available again. Heard there was a legal hang-up.

Any word on Evil Knievel being available again. I have been dragging my feet on my restoration hoping it would be available again.
