Earthshaker
Williams, 1989Picked up a nice Earth Shaker. This is my first system 11. oldest pin I have ever owned. I have the playfield out and i am clear coating it with Dupont Chromo clear. Waiting for new plastic set.Has new ramps. order all new targets star posts, colored sleves. Willl Start on cabinet this weekend.Playfield was covered 100% with mylar. 3 hours to remove. no paint came up.
Quoted from JohnDelNJ:Wow, looks great! I'm just starting my ES restore. Hope it looks this good when I'm done.

Dose your playfield have full Mylar? Did they come from the factory with full Mylar? This is my first system 11 .
Was that mylar over the entire piece of wood? Like, even the sections the ball never goes? I've never seen that before, yet it looks like that in some of your pictures. Also seems to be much thinner than average playfield mylar when it's all bunched up -- or is that just due to melting?
In any case, your PF looks fantastic!
Quoted from cranie:Looks great! I'm starting my PF reassembly phase now. These extra pics will come in handy as to post color choices
Looks like you lucked out on the inserts. Any raised or art issues?
None are raised. It was really nice under the Mylar.

It was on 95% of the playfield. Under the apron 3/4 was done.
That looks just plain fantastic. Reinforces to me what rough shape mine ES pf is in. I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle an entire pf restore, but I'll need to post some pics on a separate thread to get some advice about some of the more obvious issues.
