Picked this up it was pretty nice and plays 100%. Never owned a EM. I have restored newer pins and have wanted to restore an older pin. Touched up and clear coated the playfield with DuPont chrome a clear. Cabinet will be next.

Quoted from Pinplayer1967:
Very nice, how many coats of clear and what kind did you use?

2 thin coats with sanding in between. Then 2 thicker coats. Wet sanded and buffed. I used DuPont Chrome a clear.
