    Quoted from vid1900:

    If you put on a coating that is going to turn amber, you have ruined the game.

    Also, pre-diamond plate games were coated with poly, no? A lot of these older games are already amber. So, personally I don't think it is ruining the game to match this finish.

    Quoted from metahugh:

    Lacquer I believe

    What is "lacquer" exactly?

    Can anyone hazard a guess about what was used to coat playfields before diamond plate? What was Bally's "tuff-coat" and the "varnish" used on other old SS games?
