I'm a bit torn on what to do with my AP. I love the game and I plan on keeping it...for a bit... but I only have room for 8 pins and 2 of my 10 are currently on loan.
Questions:
-is there any real chance of making my original glass look any better than "eh, good enough?"
-my playfield isn't BAD but it's definitely showing its age..should I get a playfield protector, or just leave it as is? I hit it with novus 2 and wax today. I have cupping on almost all of the round inserts but its not TOO bad while playing. Ironically the left and right arrows are actually raised.
I hate to dump too much money into it because I know it just isn't a pin that sells for a ton (I sold it to my friend for $1200 earlier this year and hadn't seen much interest with any price over that) but I fully expect to be moving it out, again, sometime in 2021. Limited space sucks--i always have to let loose of games I like.
I did just rebuild the right flipper because it basically wasn't working... at all... but now I'm going to have to do the other two because they're noticeably worse than the right flipper. Other than that, I rebuilt the drops with new 3D parts, had the boards completely rebuilt/bulletproofed and I fireproofed the bridge rectifier. The only additional things I'm considering at this point are related to the backglass and the playfield protector. But new glass would run me $300 and the protector $150. Kind of feels like sunk cost.
Thoughts?
