Most dealers won't go down the path of clearcoating. In fact, I don't know of anyone other than hobbyists who do clearcoating.

You are right, Nick - This machine should have been left without mylar, "if" the playfield was is good condition. Cleaning and waxing an EM playfield is all that is needed. Mylar slows the game down and is not needed for a home EM machine.

Personally, I've seen much better Captain Fantastic Pinballs, especially ones with the correct COLOR and TYPE of Drop Targets. How difficult would it be to install the correct ball shooter rod ? I would think Fireball and Wizard would be much more sought after. They need to do their research a little better !

Good to see some dealers are "having a go" at EM machines, but "best condition ever" is a bit far fetched.
