I do have a very nice example. I have had it a long time, it's the game everyone plays.
I have one concern and it is the keylines around inserts are starting to degrade. Over the last 8-10 years, even though i wax regularly, i begin to see them deteriorate...
I am thinking seriously about sending it to HEP. but i would send it with the caveat that Chris set it up and play it for a month before he tears it apart. I would be concerned that it come back and not play the same way...
Also my PF has a couple of blemishes in the halftone areas and i am not sure if i would just leave them as they are as opposed to changing the halftoning to an airbrush fade.
Are your PF's clear-coated? If not, are you concerned about Vids theory that the Ink on NOS PF becomes brittle and requires Clear-coating to survive?

On the system 7 drops, I usually make sure the spring flaps are nice and smooth. If not I buff them with the dremel and small buff. Lay flat on table.
I also make sure the tapped strap on the back( that the spring flaps ride on) is also buffed and has no burrs. Sometimes you need to flip it over.
Maybe a DB3 microswitch with a roller actuator would work? Or the honeywell?

They should trigger independently lower first then upper.
Not that i can do that during game play.....
