Fathom is the "full package" and I'm lucky that I have the opportunity to restore this classic.
Not that much to speak of in terms of an update, but I stripped the playfield to access the overall condition. I'm REALLY pleased with it. Mylar removal is simply "out of the question". Too risky, and the clown that installed it didn't clean the playfield properly before laying it down. Not to worry, I will polish the mylar with the tresurecove kit and the shine will detract from any issues. The only problem is the aqua blue color (mid playfield) - it has ball swirl and the camera angle and flash really highlight it. So it had a lot of play prior to the mylar, but it has been preserved and is the best original playfield I've seen for a while. It will still look awesome !
Here's the top section. There is ALWAYS wear around the lane guides. Not this playfield.
Ball swirl under the mermaid - on the left side of the playfield.
Lower section is really nice. I have not even cleaned this playfield and I see great potential !
