You are starting to notivate me to do inside the cabinet of my Flash Gordon...


Stop it!

Evil. Evil! I have no room!

Beautiful machine, glwts

Finally finished installing the protector on Rollergames. It needed a hole drilled for the magnet. Made a nice hole with the dremmel - will make adjustments as the protector settles.

Plays beautifully. OMG. I can't even...

Jungle Lord has left the building.

Lol I already have the double sided backlit posters to make a nice little corner, ordering a 3rd LED frame for the last poster in tryptic!!! Tron will be happy there!!!

I haz a jealous.

I don't know how to take apart that brand of lockbar- only bally's & williams.

I use a large wheel on the grinder. I find the dremels fall apart way too fast.

For receivers I start with a brass wirewheel. If the rust/crud is stubborn I switch to steelwheel.

Nope, just natural metal.

Steel wool. I buff all metals with it. For stubborn dirt/rust I use a brass wirewheel.

This thing looks brand new, god job! 'Seems' fast, too! Thank you! I have OCD when it comes to playfields. :) Black Knight 2000 is looking very nice indeedy. It's magnet hold fine through the protector. 20200731_215050.jpg I should note that of all the machines, only a single switch needed to be ad...

Really pleased with how BadCats came out...

I Figure if I cut the hole just slightly bigger than the magnet & raise the magnet up to cover the thickness of the protector I shouldn't have hanging issues. That's the dream Also, for your issue - I think I read on the HardTops thread that you should pop the rollover insert & re-seat it slightly h...

Badcats installation complete. All of my beloved Sys11's are now protected! BC was not a flawless install as the others were - the protector was *not* cut correctly for the machine. Luckily I have a pair of very good scissors & rectified the errors. Have e-mailed Germany so that they are aware. Also...

Spent today working on BadCats. Took the opportunity of teardown to take care of some QOL on the playfield. Light sanding - Novus - wax. Looks like new & removes a bit of that evil yellowing. Rebuilt the vari-target while I was at it, it's nice & smooth now. Protector ready to install, will do that ...

My main reason for using the protectors is to protect my beautiful playfields. :) the secondary & equally important reason was to nullify the raised inserts on bk2k's lower playfield, which these things do beautifully. The only change they make to gameplay is smoothness. Ball trajectories are true o...

I was thinking aboot one for Granny.

May have to buy a protector for Atlantis. I swear the gameplay with these things is awesome!

Installed protector on BK2k. Easy-peasy install, not much had to be removed from the playfield to lay it down. BK2K plays SO smooth & fast now and looks beautiful - you can't really see the protector unless you look! No more problems with unleveled inserts! Huzzah! I do a full clean before putting t...

Received new pinball treats!
*5 mins later*

All done! Don't know what the fuss is about.

So shiny...

Have u tried kicking it? Kicking it may help.

Percussive Maintenance.

Just checked my Pinbot - nothing connects to that spot on the PS.

Unshielded wire - Ground to head.

Super excited to see this place - I am a big fan of the classic 70's style. Let me know if you need a play-tester!

Perfect excuse to hole up in the basement playing pinball. Darn it all!
