Picked up a Dr Dude with mylar at the top of the playfield by the pop bumpers. I have had REALLY good luck with removing mylar in the past by way of the freeze spray and a combination of goo gone and magic eraser for the glue. I have heard that system 11 pins are terrible for mylar removal, a lot of lifting. Is this true? Dr Dude was toward the end of system 11, some are even WPC, so I'm hoping this isn't the case for the Doc. Any experience with removing the mylar on this one?

Just wanted to post an update, finally got around to pulling the mylar last night. Used the freeze spray method...what a breeze. Easier than removing the mylar on my Bride of Pinbot. I was originally concerned because i heard that system 11's were rough when it came to mylar removal, but not this one, no art work lifting at all. So I just lifted one end with a razor blade, sprayed a little freeze spray under AND on top of the mylar and it just peeled right up. The glue residue was easy too, sprayed goo gone, let it sit for 5 mins, then used magic eraser and the glue just disappeared.
