The insert bordering is not the issue but the thickness of the clear in combination with it is.

Since there is already plenty of clear on the surface I will shave it down as level and flat as possible and reshape

as I start to sand it aggressively the concerns become a bit more highlighted and easier to describe.The puddling and b

The large puddle at the 2X is starting to level out.
|
89
|
90
The puddles at the 9 and 10 are leveling as well.
|
91
|
92
The more sunlen inserts are working out also.Some insert deviation is good in this era but it needs to be more natural th

93
I was able to shave a lot of the clear off and achieve a better more natural surface.
|

|
95
The topside is ready to polish at this point.The polishing will determine the final outcome.
|
96
The underside of this is rough from storage and rework I am guessing,.I could easily repaint the gray but for this proj
|
97
After a good amount of effort the underside is sanded clean as possible.
|
98
Ready to polish.
|
99
Polished.Also of note during this process all holes were cleaned out and redrilled as needed.
|

The insert level and surface are much better off now.The playfield just has more pop when it is enhanced with clear but n

102
No more insert puddles.

106
Playfield is ready to build.I will say that the clear itself was fine it was the details there were lacking.
|
107
Now that we have a cabinet and playfield in place I can work with other parts starting with the apron.It has some art dama

108
Sanded and ready to prime.
|
109
Apron is primed.I will paint it red and clear it once I remove the rails off the old playfield.
|
110
I am ready to start the actual swap.
|
111
|
112
The back wooden rail is pretty bad off so I will make a new one.
|
113
New rail is cut and the other ones are removed for repair and refinish.
|
114
Repaired apron and rails are painted and cleared.While they cure I will get back to the playfield.
|
115
Playfield is ready to build.
|
116
One of the worst jobs at this point will be running all new sockets and braid.
|
117
New sockets and braid are in place several hours later.
|
118
|
119
Now I will work through the underside parts as I remove them.
|
120
All flipper assemblies are polished and rebuilt.They are further enhanced with new wiring and the addition of a cap that w

Stripping the top of just what I need to restore.
