Covington, LA
Thread of the year right here fellas!
I have two Comets, a Future Spa, plus a few other machines that are candidates for a hardtop so this is really appreciated.

Quoted from vid1900:I also hid LED strips under the metal Cycle Jump ramp, under the Comet ramp, and along the metal guides under the Million shot plastic. None of them are visible to the player.
No blinding GI lighting where you can see the light source, no crazy bright inserts, just natural looking lighting.
It's impossible to take a picture of a LED lit playfield, but this will give you some idea of the evenness of the illumination with all the lights off in the room.
Quoted from vid1900:The Freeplay40 ramps are much better made than the paper thin Williams originals.
Look better too, lol
Can’t wait for him to do the main ramp. That’s the final thing I’m missing to start my restore!

Quoted from Spraynard:Been working on sanding down Flash Gordon for a hard tip install. Using 220g on an orbital sander like vid. Have all the art work off and everything is level, but the inserts have this “crackling” appearance. Worried to keep going with it. Will this disappear with the clear coat?

I have this too on my FG. The crackling goes pretty deep and I assumed it will not sand out. Haven’t checked if replacement inserts are available but I’m willing to do that if so.
Keep us updated on your restore!
