I'm doing the exact same thing to mine, right now! I'm using an IPB that Kruzman graced with the thickest clear I've ever seen... and I have 3 other cleared games!

Good luck with yours!

Normally i would use this tool for port work on 2 strokes. Someone or some child should i say has ran off with my chuck for my drill. Drilling out all the holes to specified sizes.

I know you were referring to mrDo but I had Neo add clear to mine as I could feel some very slight edges on a few inserts on the IPB playfield I got. When I got it back from Neo I couldn't have been happier.

Looks good, I am in the same process as well. Getting a nice TAF playfield touched up and clear coated. Then after I transfer everything over when I get it back, I am getting a new cabinet, new decals, etc... for TAF!!

Should look great once it is done!!

Back in my day we didn't have fancy air driven nut drivers, we used are bare knucles to drive in hex screws and we liked it!

I play Marty's Firecracker that has wear in the middle of the playfield and love that game. I just want to eat off of this game.

That is it.......NO, IRON MAN FOR YOU!

Failing to see how your statment reflects the MORON who stripped the 1/4 hex and the phillips screws to hold the motor on.
