    Quoted from TecumsehPlissken:

    I love this thread but cant shake the feeling that most of these recent posts belong here https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/worst-hackrepair-you-ever-saw

    wash . . . rinse . . . repeat . . .

    The much desired dropped off-center post ... brilliant!

    By the way, the third pic is where I finally saw what you were talking about.

    Quoted from MisterScappy:

    I’m scratching my head trying to figure out what someone was trying to accomplish by adding this piece of thick white plastic here on my Big Guns.

    They wanted the notoriety of sometime in the future being featured in this thread on Pinside?

    Quoted from Pin-Pilot:

    Don't think I have ever seen high_end_pins install a Hardtop.

    Unfortunately, I think most have High End Pins taste but are on a Hardtops budget.

    Personally, I would never do a Hardtop, but that doesn't mean they aren't a good option for some. Just reminds me too much of the clear plastic on my grandparents' sofa for as long as they were alive. I hated sitting on that thing as the feel just wasn't what it should be. When in comes to my pins, I've made playfield repairs with paint, decals, Mylar, etc. as I prefer to keep the original feel of the game as designed. Keep it clean, keep it waxed, and enjoy it for what it is.

    Does your name happen to be Chuck (why else would anyone collect such a thing)?

    Quoted from robertmee:

    Been soldering for 45 years starting with model railroads and this is the only method I've ever used.

    Seems like overkill for the vast majority of pin soldering, but I bet you will NEVER have a solder joint come loose when using this method.
