Any advice on how to handle this on my newly acquired AFM? I have no artistic ability and have virtually no tools/parts. Should I just mylar over, find a local pinball/artist to do a touch-up, put a decal over it?

Quoted from vid1900:

Just put a dot of Mylar over it and enjoy the game.

Hello Vid,

I'm like this post in that I have very little in the way of artistic skill, nor do I want my Big Game down for a repair any longer than it has to be. But it has big problems on the lower play field.

I've been looking around this post trying to find exactly what kind of adhesive Mylar I need to use to cover up this mess to limit further damage.

My plan was to wax it up and put some Mylar down to protect it. At least until I get a second game to play and can take Big Game off line for some renovation.

Can you post a link to the type of Mylar you would recommend? Or let me know if you have any other suggestion?

Thanks for all of your posts!

Jeff...

Quoted from Coyote:

Does that game really say ''For Each Lited Number''? I LOVE that.

Hilarious! Hundreds of games later and I hadn't noticed...

Here is a picture of the promotional flyer.

Let's see if I remember circa 1980. Was that when the Lite Beer wars began?
