Have really had a problem with finding time to make progress on this game.
I've been saying for over a week, I just need to take an hour or two, and dig into it and make a little progress so I can get the ball rolling again.
I've been waiting on some assistance on the cabinet, and had been putting the playfield aside, saying I'd start on the playfield after I got the cabinet done, as I didn't want to fill the playfield full of sanding dust, etc.
At this point, I'm going to get the playfield done. I can seal it up real well once it's done, if that's what it takes to get the cabinet done.
The playfield is on the bench. It's fresh as it came back from Playfield Renovations. T-nuts still installed, wiring and staples from pop bumpers in, etc.
I don't clean them up real well until I'm ready to install them. The buffing process fills all switch slots, holes, etc with compound - so why clean them twice?
After having a few playfields restored, I also learned to pull the t-nuts before restoring them. They get full of clear and screws won't thread into them, and the clear sometimes discolors on top of them.
But, I did pull the t-nuts from the playfield tonight. Will sand the playfield underside to clean it up, and reinstall new t-nuts. I buy the t-nuts for under 10 cents each, new, and I hate straightening the prongs of the t-nuts. You can salvage about 70% of the old ones, but it's just easier to stick new ones in.
Backside is majorly dirty
T-nuts pulled
It's purdy :)
These are actual chunks of clear
