Looks good!
Pretty brave to try that. Glad it worked so well.

I don't believe Gottlieb used automotive type clear coat on their system 3 playfields. Or whatever they did use was not very thick. Thus the full mylar sheets.

Only for locals as i cannot build a plug and play connector for them. Well ok i can but it is not worth the initial cost. Let me know if you want me to swing out sometime we can get it done.

Waterworld looks pretty cool.....never seen one before. Is it as bad as the movie? (I know....nothing is THAT bad....)

So you plan on clearcoating it now right?

People usually remove mylar because they're going to clearcoat the playfield. Hopefully it holds up for you without mylar.

home use, id say its fine.

Don't mean to crap on the party, but it's almost that bad. I mean, I like the layout but the rules are pretty bad. It's not quite a FREDDY level of crapfest, but close.

its quite good, rock solid system 3 tank... great boards... denis hopper callouts are very cool...

only thing i wish it had a ramp or two ... still good fun, shootin the deez'

I remove the mylar whenever possible. There is still clearcoat on the playfield after you remove the mylar.

Two thick coats of wax and sink the deez.

Brave man, Gottliebs can be very tricky, they don't have nearly the level of protection on them that even Data East had. I really wanted to remove the tired mylar on my Surf N' Safari, but just a small test in one corner told me that half the insert graphics or worse were going to come with it, so it will have to stay.

I just noticed...no ramps. Kind of old school.....kind of...

So what feeds the right clear plastic return to the flipper? A VUK?

For sure..wax and clean balls...that's all you need to protect and maintain it. Great work, looks very nice.

Wax does wonders

I got mine 2 months ago and can't stop tricking it out. Waterworld is a real sleeper in terms of people reviewing it and price. I love mine. If you set up the game on difficult and on tournament mode, you'll end the overly generous "you get another chance" balls, and one more thing: the difficult setting turns the flasher lights on during deez sinking attempts in a distracting type of way that's pretty cool, like the games f'n with you as your trying to ramp 4 balls. I changed all the flasher caps to blue as the 3 original different colors almost put me in a epileptic fit

Btw Cliffy just sent me the hard to find octagonal divehole protector for $25 and he has more in stock

*Installed spots on the bezerker and gunboat pig boy (it made them really pop).
*Took off the useless waterworld back right plastic as all it did was obscure the chrome up ramp and add to glare.
*took off the small clear plastic connecting the deez opto and deez motor house and installed LEDs in it as it had none and was dark.
*changing out the harpoon kicker's coil to a A-5195 is a must as the underpowered original fails half the time
