    Quoted from rotordave:

    Then I got on to finishing the Funhouse.
    Put all the ramps back on, and fitted LEDs to the inserts.
    Looking pretty swish!
    The Mrs will be happy!

    When you put those PF protectors on the older games, how does it look over a sunken/slightly raised insert?

    Are they adhesive or just the sort of light static adhesive? (ie, if you take it off will it bring 1/2 the art with it?)

    Quoted from rotordave:

    Yeah, I ended up going black gloss too.
    I was going to match the purple on the side, but I couldn’t get a powder anywhere close.
    So black it is!
    rd

    That would be allllllooooooot of purple.

    Quoted from rotordave:

    Not really. The rails are really thin.
    The orange dominates the machine.
    rd

    But disappear into the horizon.

    No, actually the purple would look good, but you’re right, would have to match.

    That thing fit in the hearse?

    Quoted from rotordave:

    I’ll tidy up the edges

    Just backtracking a bit, how did you tidy up the insert edges? Whack them back down and glue?

    Quoted from rotordave:

    On the Funhouse? I touched up the edges with my trusty paint markers.
    They didn’t respond to a whacking. Often they will - tap them back down and glue them from the underside. These ones just sit 0.5mm high all the way around. Without going drastic on it, easiest way to combat it was to use the protector.
    Lame ass I know - should have ripped it all out and cleared the PF etc etc... but I just don’t have that amount of time to put into just one game, which is 98% sweet as as it is now.
    And boy, does it play like a champ now. Fast as hell, and no ball diversions any more.

    Yeh, on funhouse. Just picked up a decent Flash on which I’ve leveled a few inserts, but a couple still sit 1/2 ml proud. Thinking of throwing one of those over to protect but still need to decide if the game is worth it. Haven’t had a chance to even play it yet.

    Good pickup on the Banzai Run. I think it’s a decent game. Probably doesn’t get a lot of love because it’s different and maybe hard to maintain - but no different than a couple of machines stuck together.
