Could be risky. See if you can find out what type of pen was used. If you decide to move forward, instruct the clearcoat applicator to apply a very fine layer to start and let it dry fully. This may prevent or at least diminish any sharpie bleed. Now I'm curious. What game and who's signature???

Yes, the playfield needs to be sanded in order for the new clear to have some surface friction to 'bite' to. Yes, you can avoid the area (to some degree) but it should still get a light scuffing. Since the signature is above the clear, by doing nothing you would be taking a chance that the clear...

I know this is primarily a pinball forum, but the admins over at CGCC.ca seem to not want to reply to my registration requests and get my account up and running... so I'm sure I'll find a few vid guys here. Recently picked up a nice Atari Super Sprint from DavidC near Montreal. This is my first...

Slimy??? It's a dog-eat-dog world out there :D

Will keep an eye out for SoF; forgot about that one ;) It's been on my hit-list lately as well. Calling a preemptive dibs in case you score one first :D

With Pinfest in Allentown just a few short weeks away, I thought it would be fun to see who's going? Last year was my first trip and it was great to see that a ton of collectors from London to Quebec City (and all places in between) were in attendance. Kind of funny that all the Canadians chose...

Sounds like the boys had a much better showing in Texas than they did in Kentucky! Gladd to see most of the bugs are ironing themsleves out. Still don't see much happening with that UV... but I guess in a darker home setting, it should be fine. I can't wait for Allentown! I played it there last...

I gotta ask.... what's it for? And, is the one pictured above yours?

Been watching a few threads where guys are starting to install the CPR High Speed repros and it seems some of the dimpling may be incorrect as well.

That's because all my projects take months :FP: But hey! It's only pinball... or vids in this case. Thanks ;) Rob, If/when you're ready for one of these, I'm sure we can work something out. Just not for a little while. I have a feeling I'll be sick of these by the time we're done.

Now THAT sounds like a fun time! Let me know if you find an nice TOTAN in there :D Looks like my restoration project will be on hold until CPR gets theirs done. Oh well... lots to keep me busy until then. And who knew BK2K playfields would be in such demand?

So... to my surprise, I walked out to the shop at the end of the day yesterday and my partner in this endeavour (and CNC operator) had decided to stay late and knock together a few more cabs! We now have 10 of the 12 ready for priming! Going to try and round out the week with the last two so...

Works on me :P

Well, at that time, he was staring at a pile of wood ;) I've obviously made a good dent in shifting all that material. Just 7 more to go. Gotta play nice if I want use of the shop and facilities.

Our shop manager keeps asking me when all my 'junk' is going to get moved so I've put things into high gear ;) 3 more cabs done today!!!

I think that's the smarter move in the long run. I'm also intrigued by JPOP's Alice in Wonderland... but I know that, if I really wanted to, I could still pick up a spot for RAZA today. There is no need to jump in that early. As for the creech window, my guess would be that it's just a...

It does look nice. Seems to be a good balance of wide open flow design with some upper, and maybe lower, playfield action. Looks feature rich so far. Glad they didn't do a limited edition or "must buy now" approach here. I'll enjoy seeing it progress with little stress and expectations... and...

Every collection needs a little bigfoot and some Nordmanite!!! :D The WH2O plays pretty nice and I think the rules and depth of the game are something you really need to explore further to appreciate it. It's very challenging and there are several things to strive for and acheive. I think the...

THE NEW KING OF KONG: if you can't find a vintage Nintendo cab.... just make your own Part 2 A quick update on those DK cabinets. With all the smaller sub-assemblies put together, I was able to slap together a fairly complete cab on my lunch hour today. Not too shabby... just 10 more to go...

START YOUR ENGINES: restoring my first vid; 1986 ATARI Super Sprint Part 2 So, even though I didn't plan on really getting into this project right now, I could not resist digging into it just to see what parts I should be hunting down and what will need repair. I knew right away that one...
