Here's the process.
Remove them gently from under the playfield, usually it is easy
Sand with 80 grit to remove cracks and after 200-400-800-1000-2000-novus 3-novus 2
I put inserts decals from classicarcade, they are great

All bally playfields deserve this restoration in my opinion and many more from this era  
Time to complete the process, about 20 min by insert

Starting touchup. I make few touchup on the left and right side. I decided to make all the sky and the clouds because this part of playfield has no mylar. The grey lines and white spot is where the ball remove paint to the wood. I fill the ball line, spot and cracks with grey and white paint before i make touchup. I finally decide to sell the CPR repro and keep this original, i'm very happy about the overall condition.  
PS: CPR repro sold to whizzervic

Very nice.

What I really like is seeing a before and after from the same viewing angle. Really gives a good appreciation of your attention to detail.

Wow Hal, you are bringing that pin to life and giving it another 30 years. I may have missed it, but did you scrub, grind, sand, soak or put on new parts?
