Poland, IN
Hey guys - decided to have my Space Invaders PF restored and cleared. If it were just cleared, I would be all over it myself. I have restored several cabs with automotive base coat/cc and am very comfortable doing it. I have a Capspray unit that works very well. That said - I have never touched up a PF and while I am not afraid to try - this is not one I want to mess up.
The PF is actually in VERY good condition with some minor wear areas but I would like a top notch job done because this is a keeper for me. I had some questions I was hoping everyone could help me with:
1 - I did search for restorers and came up with a few names, but are there some good recommendations for someone who can do a great job?
2 - Also - do I have to reglue the inserts or can I leave that for the restorer? I know if I were restoring the playfield I would want to do it myself to know it was good to go before the clear job.
3 - Since I am comfortable with clearing myself, should I have someone restore and I clear, or would you recommend I have the restorer just do it so it comes back perfect?
4 - Is there anyone from #1 above who is recommended but is accepting work and won't take 6 months to return it to me. I would like to send this in and get it started soon.
5 - Is there something about this process I haven't considered that I should?
Thanks again everyone. Appreciate all of the support!
