thank you for your responces, they are very helpfull

so my options are leave it as is and it looks pretty crappy in a few areas because the playfeild is black and it looks quite a bit lighter in the bubbled areas

or

tyr to prick the bubbles and flatten them down or heat with a hair drier and hope. What are the possible consequences if i try to repar these areas, im just trying to gauge the risk to reward ratio of this reapar

There is one other option but you have to be prepared for the worst, you can remove the mylar, using a hairdryer then clean the residue with shellite but you could endup pulling a lot of paint with it.  You would need to be prepared to do some touchup work and clear coat or lay down some new mylar.

Is there anyone who has done mylar removal on a Sys80?  I cannot remember if Nicks HH had mylar or not.  To be honest, unless its terrible and / or effecting gameplay I'd leave it.  The chances of ever getting a Rocky playfield are next to nil.  If you want it to be perfect, you may need to strip and send to a professional for removal, touchups and clearcoating.
