Did the "artist" sign it? Might want to take it on 'Antiques Roadshow' if he/she did.

I would probably let my kids do something like this if I had a backglass that was totally roached on a machine I did not care about.
That said, I’m sure they would do a better job.

That is a really neat looking machine. If I lived close, I wouldn't mind buying this one and maybe restoring it.

Quoted from Thunder90:Oh man I'd buy that roto pool in a heartbeat!

I reached out to the seller.
This YouTube video looks to have the metal rails thing going on, too.

That voice sounds familiar! Mike Dymus and Tony from The Canadian Pinball podcast.

I reached out to them today as well, but no response yet.

That's interesting. I was assuming it was a one-off hack someone did.

Quoted from uncivil_engineer:The DE Batman I am currently working on. Unfortunately, this is very common with this title. What in the world was in their 'Stealth Coating' the playfields were supposed to be protected with? Unicorn Farts?
Not a lot of work to turn it into a whitewood!
Here's a horror story with no photographic evidence... some years ago I went to buy a Fathom from a Belgian operator who had a barn load of games... it was sitting on end in a barn with only a roof for shelter... the head detached and in a dryer place. I had to wipe a thick layer of grime off the playfield glass to make sure the playfield wasn't too far gone... that confirmed, the next step was to open the coin door and take a look inside... he didn't have a key so he pryed the door open with one of the legs... as the door pooped open, both of us reeled back as the stink of rotting meat hit us... holding our breath we looked inside to see the corpse of a mouse riddled with maggots... I bought the game with the condition that I only took the head that day and came back about a month later to get the body after the maggots had finished their meal and the smell had gone.
Quoted from Apex:That might just be the best literal mis-application of a pinball term I have have ever seen.
Possibly a Less noisy way of getting a few pesos.
Quoted from tfduda:United Mexico on eB$y. The description states that the "Key lock was drilled out."

Funny... what's with the orange lined coin slide? Weird.
Quoted from Dono:Funny... what's with the orange lined coin slide? Weird.
Various machines from that era had a plastic cover on the coin slide (in a few different colors--have seen some in hues of reds and blues). I assume that they might have been used for other coin op items too.
I think the slides with the plastic are a special "feather touch" model that was supposed to be superior to other models of slides at the time. Not sure why they had the plastic covering, but perhaps the plastic is part of the feather touch aspect or perhaps it was used to distinguish them from other models.

WTH! Did they load up some rusty balls from some EM that had been parked in a shed for 50 years?
Quoted from gdonovan:WTH! Did they load up some rusty balls from some EM that had been parked in a shed for 50 years?
Yeah. I thought the clear coat was to prevent the wearing action.
I wonder how many games have been played on this.

This is quite interesting. Really tells a story from back in the day.
It looks like a machine out of the 80's that had been in an arcade and/or routed alot. Would not think this would happen to a newer style machine with a clear coated playfield.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty bizarre. Couldn't help but post it.

That's a really odd wear pattern... Be curious about the machine, if the flippers are not set up properly, or an inserts is causing the ball to lift a bit off the PF and really hitting down further down.
Quoted from snowy_owl:Mega playfield ware...
That is the old ST from Disney Islands of Adventure which has been reposted many times. Appears to have been cleaned with some solvent which removed the clearcoat and art.

It could very well be that the fact that it was plastic alone made it a 'deluxe' or indeed 'feather touch' version. Plastic was quite the thing, back in the day.

Poly clear coat is some tough stuff. I cannot think of any solvent that will attack it. Not saying there is none, but I am not family with any poly attacking solvent. The right paint stripper could really tear it up, though.
