You mean he SAYS he cannot comment. I wouldn’t put much trust in anything Micro says right now...

I love my POTC thoroughly. Truly an amazing creation. I am definitely keeping it. This all is frustrating and stressful but I’m just going to take as good of care of it as I can, and hope it lasts. I’ve already put cliffys on, the star post repair kit and change the balls every 75 games since they get so beat up. That’s the best I can do. Has anyone tried Mylar around damage areas and seen if it prevents further damage? When I put the cliffys on the mystery hole and map hole a chip of playfield came up from both posts when removed. Scared the crap out of me. Would be terrified to remove a pop bumper and I want to move some posts to lessen ball drains but I’m afraid to move anything. Anyone try moving posts where there was already some clear coat bunching? If so how did that work?

It’s not the company rules that matter, it’s your bank’s. Many banks and/or credit card companies will allow a charge back well beyond 30 days if it involves a problem not known in the beginning.

Ok so I tested the hair dryer method on one sling post on my Wonka and it worked pretty well actually. You could see a line where the clear coat had bunched up but it went smooth again. Big improvement. This gives me hope all my bunched posts on my POTC can be saved before they chip. So far I have one chip on the playfield I can’t hide. I’m thinking of using the hair dryer and some neoprene washers. Once the bunched up clearcoat is smoothed much less likely to chip. I am very curious how many other people have tried that method and how successful it has been. Please post your results.

I installed it. It was tight but I got it on. You could widen the holes a little. I then ordered HarryHoudini’s illuminated window instead of the opto protector like he mentioned above and I love it. Hides the mechs and wires and serves same function as the opto protector on the back.
