We are posting this as a WARNING! We did post on youtube but the maker of the video blocked us and removed our posting, So we are posting here to protect our customers. This video was posted on youtube.

http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/biught-3-pins-2-day-08-fg-ngg-bop-b_r/page/2

You can NOT work on your machine very easy if you do it this way. You will damage your mirrors if you do it this way. Not all machines are created equal and the playing filed may not be as forgiving. Especially in older Williams, Dataeast machines or older Sterns.
The felt added to the playing field will break down and you will get sticky all over your playing field. We have already done all this testing before we ever sold to the public. Also, when you add to the back of the mirror you push it closer to the playing field and risk scratching the mirror. Not to mention the fact that removing the mirrors to work on the machine is much harder to do. Or if you sell your machine and want to put them in another. We do not mind people giving their ideas and we will test. You guys are more than welcome to post anything here and we will not remove it. If it works for you great but please keep in mind, they may not own your type of machine. FYI: We have already shot a video of installation and it will release with our new website in the next 2 to 3 weeks. We have found #1 failure of installation: Not reading the instructions. People see the 3 screw holes (which are below the playing field and can not be see at all) and they just go to town. We seen and heard it all. From installing them backwards, to not pulling the backing off before installing them. Please just read the instructions.
Also, We will be introducing a new sweet product line at the Texas Pinball Show. Hope to see you there. FYI: it can be done this way we just do not recommend it...

I would like to see your installation video. It would be interesting to see how different they are. Do you remove the PF in your video? If its done it would be a good idea to post it. You should fight misinformation with the correct information.

What did he do that you are against? This is not clear.

Are you anti adding felt? Please explain as expecting us to watch the video is a bit much.

I like Black Rose a lot though this video is long. So can you please just write up the steps you recommend on installing the mirrors

Thanks for your post. Helping people do things the right way to these expensive games is admirable.... Especially since all the people who have already posted knows what's coming.

Just keep your cool and remain rational, you'll be fine.

One thing that is clear in the post is to Read and Follow the installation instructions. Anything else is not recommended and probably not covered under warranty.

Na, all jokes aside wpdvideo BR is very well respected around here and well... I don't know you or anything about you, but I will bet my left nut that BR knows more about pinball than you.

The instructions are in the bag just as he describes. Here's my issues we get calls from people who install theses. You can install them anyway you want. It's your machine, We have seen two units come back that we're bent to heck on the installation. They should never be forced into a machine. Theses are simple to install. Another company that sells theses recommends you pre drill your holes. Why? Some people could go all the way threw the cabinet. Why make that a problem?
Here's what I will tell you. His way will work but we have seen problems with people who have done it this way. When they scratch and they will or you get glue all over you playing field from the felt then don't call us complaining because we didn't say anything. He's not wrong! We just do not recommend this at all because of what we know and have seen. Heck the other company will sell you the felt if your that heart felt about it. We do not nor do we recommend it. If you know anything about pinballs and I can reassure you that you do. The playing field differ from one game to another. And what come out of a home and a off a route can be different. We just want our buyers to be aware of that. I am going to pull a Tylenol ad that you may have seen. We just soon you not buy the product, than to tear up a high dollar machine.

I don't see anything wrong with the video. Its just his way of installing mirror blades. The only thing I find wrong with the video is that its boring as hell! At least he got a tripod. His previous hand held video would give me Vertigo.

I still think it is very unclear what the problem is. Are you saying because he used double sided tape, it pushes the mirror blade closer to the playfield? You also saying using felt is not recommended as well? Just want to make it clear.

I think both. the felt wears and ends up rubbing against the blades. and both reduce clearance between the cabinet and PF. but OP hopefully will make it more clear.
