Great result - is it an expensive process?

Its a lot of work in preparation to clear a playfield....Both sides of the playfield need to be fully stripped, all t-nuts and globe holders removed etc.  Probably around 10 hrs for a DMD title, more for an early SS machine.  I'm guessing its around 6 to 10 hrs to clear a playfield properly, then once cured around 15 + hours to re-assemble.

I think for games which are absolute keepers or your 'grail' machines, then its worth the investment, if repairs are required on the playfield... I'm looking forward to seeing Nino's Fathom back together when its finished as I reckon it will look and play amazing.

That looks awesome Nino !!
The clear really brings out the colors and detail,
well worth the effort you have put into this PF.


I agree going by the photos it looks great.
