Same unused holes on my EBDLE pf.

Just applied my hardtop and lost a bit of artwork to the adhesive. Is that common? Fortunately not visible but it was a little scary keeping the damage as contained as it ended up being.

It was already lifting when I went to separate the adhesive cover. The adhesive was also kinda peeling up with the paper around the inserts and such too. Is that normal? Possible I had some sort of adhesive defect? It’s a first-run EBD hardtop from back in December but it’s been kept in climate controlled environment the whole time. Not trying to call out Outsidedge by any means here! Clearly these are an amazing product.

Seawitch playfields were remade for years by greatwichjohn who has recently sold his business. New ones should be on the market within a matter of weeks from the new owners.

Quoted from NinJaBooT:

You mean it took him years to rescreen 50 playfields. You had to send him your playfield he would rescreen it.

No, I don’t mean that. Maybe he did a reprint process early on, I don’t know, but he produced many new ones as well. His successors have already announced their new and improved repros.

And for posterity, GWJ never screened anything. His were all digital prints.

Quoted from Mathazar:

I.
The bad hardtop itself came off ok with some muscle. The glue and artwork it left behind....yikes. 15 hours of GooGone and scraper work. And it's not like all of the pieces came off in big chunks....there were tons and tons of little pieces to get off (my hands hurt for days). But, in the end, the replacement hardtop with the corrected adhesive formula worked great and still looks/plays like new 100's of games later.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I had this same unfortunate experience (OE made good on it, and I say buy with confidence now!). He’s not exaggerating on the amount of time and effort it takes to strip the glue off. IT SUCKS!

Yeah that looks exactly like a defective hardtop, likely from the initial run. I had it happen too, much like @ksuwildcatfan. Contact Bruce at OutsideEdge and he might be able to help you out, @romm.

The screw “solution” though
