So let me see if I understand. The 8 star rollovers on Wizard are different from the star rollovers that can be carefully punched out from the bottom with the assistance of a heat gun. If the above process is required is there a dremel tool that has a depth stop. I seem to remember seeing one.

I get it now. All 5 of my Wizards are in a different location so I was unable to look at a playfield. I thought the black section that you show being removed was part of the original playfield. I didn't remember it that way but, my memory can be bad sometimes. I see why they did the star rollovers this way. It provides a little bit of leeway when installing the hardtop. As long as you line up all the other holes the star rollovers should be OK. Thanks for the clarification Frax. Putting the steps in order 1-4 made the bell go off. Ding "I get it" I looked at the video several times and I can't see that black area very well on the laptop. Not well enough to see that was part of the hardtop I was looking at. Looks like I need to check into some new glass. Thanks for the video as well Skypilot. Very helpful.

I got all 5 Wizards at a auction in South Carolina several years ago. A very large operator had to get rid of almost 1000 pins and about the same number of video games, jukeboxes, pool tables and other coin-op equipment. The fire marshal said the large number of wooden games was a fire hazard. The tobacco warehouse where the games were stored was also made out of wood. If I remember right the auction had about 20 Wizards. Not all of them sold even though they where in good condition. My average price per Wizard was $280. I also picked up about 30 other pinballs that day. I think that was the largest number of pins I picked up in one day. Love the good old days.

I will be selling 4 of the Wizards when I get a chance to overhaul them. Not sure at this point if I will put hardtops on all of them.
