This thread is nuts.. Seems like both sides are a little at fault, maybe more so nifty.. I don't really know anymore. All I do know is that playfield touchup is bad.
From my experience, and following Clay's blog I know you CANNOT simply touchup small lettering by hand, you have to either create a mask or use waterslide decals and then clear over that. The swirls should have been able to come out better than that using the right tools.. Hell, lightly sand with 1200 grit sandpaper and clear it if you have to.

I have a good feeling that even after the OP pays, he's not going to be happy with the way this turned out. Can't speak for Nifty's other restores, but this one only looks good on the outside.

This is a crazy turn of events. Daniel refuses to take less than $3k, now it's free? I'm guessing this is the partner smoothing things over. I know nothing will make the actions of attempting to sell a pin that wasn't theirs go away, but hopefully this buys some forgiveness.

Email this morning:

Dear Nifty LED Customers,

We are writing to give some important news. We appreciate your business over the last several years and while we would like to continue to serve you and the pinball community, changes in our personal lives (family, work, etc) have made the ability to do so difficult.

It is with mixed emotions that we announce that we will be closing our online store that you're familiar with, NiftyLED.com. With that, we have worked out a partnership with Comet Pinball to share our existing customer base and would like to recommend that any business you'd like to give Nifty be passed along to Comet Pinball instead.
They are a great company to work with and they offer comparably high-quality bulbs that match what you've come to depend on from us.

If you need help finding Comet bulbs that are equivalent to your Nifty favorites, you can click here. Beginning March 1, we will be forwarding our website to cometpinball.com for your shopping convenience.

Thank you, again, for your patronage and also for supporting Comet going forward.

Regards,
Nate and Daniel
