Great job - that machine deserved to be restored to its glory.
Wanted: GTB Aquarius backglass. Any playfield bits and backglasses from any EMs - nothing is junk to me.

I have done a couple of mylar jobs now (full playfield) and I found the best method is similar to that of installing decals dry...

Basically peel off an inch or so, cut the backing paper off, then line it up and with a soft cloth work it backwards and forwards towards the rest of the sheet.  Then lift it up from the undersideand peel off another two or so inches and let the rest of the sheet sit on top of it (like a C).  Then slowly and squarely with one hand gently slide the backing paper off as you continue the rubbing from one side of it to the other (hope this makes sense)..  Thats the method which works for me!

sounds good...so where do you get the mylar from???Any special type or brand you use??Cost??
I would be scared to clear coat anything....that Mylar looks just as good...and Im guessing that wear would not be a huge factor if its a home pin...

EM's don't usually do it for me but I have to admit that is impressive.

I'm not really a great fan of EM's either but I'll tell ya, they're a hell of a lot easier to repair than those deteriorating SS logic boards.  Gawd I wish I still had my Volley !!!
