... I also have a Meteor playfield and 2 Alien Poker playfields I could do.
Anyone need an Alien Poker playfield? I started tinkering with the nice one I have last night... I could never remove the damn mylar off of it in the past, and all of a sudden last night, it started cooperating. Seems to be REALLY cheap mylar too... it is yellowed and can be peeled off by hand slowly, but with freeze spray, it breaks in small pieces when pulling it off. I managed to pull off 40% by hand with no spray and with very minimal art coming off in about 1 hour. So I might continue this way. This playfield has some wear around a couple of pop bumpers, but otherwise excellent.
If I finish removing the mylar this week, it gets cleared with Meteor and EK.
As for the cheapo clearcoat offers, I still have 2 openings left. Tuborg will have his Sinbad playfield clearcoated, and so will Steph's LOTR. If you have a playfield you want clearcoated AS-IS, contact me. I am doing it at a loss just to test the clearcoat on playfields. I would really like a System 11 playfield if anyone wants one clearcoated... I hear the problem lies with clouding on inserts... I want to make sure it is OK.
I'm planing on doing my Banzai Run at some point, but I'm not at that stage yet, but it also needs more work then just a clear coat and there is the upper playfied as well.
Whats that Shap pain in my back Oh it's a Knife Complete MAACA-Wacko!

Hey Ian If you ever want a guinypig playfield i have a few i could donate to the cause.
Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
And to answer a question, no, I am not out of the hobby, and yes, I will be clearcoating playfields. If anyone wants an estimate, PM or email me at sparky@maaca.net
Clearcoating order board is now open if anyone wants to have theirs done. I am doing some final tests this week and will be posting up some pics of before and after...
A basic clearcoat job will be 100$. This, as previously stated, includes any light sanding (for clearcoat adhesion), and clearcoating.
Email me at sparky@maaca.net for any quotes for touch-ups, insert fixes, etc.
I can also repaint a cabinet if needed. Preferably old-school stenciled cabinets, as I am not equipped to do any decals, nor do I want to. I doubt many will go for this cabinet service, but I can still do it if anyone wants theirs refreshed.

Excellent job Sparky. That PF looks great. I have a BK in decent shape. When you decide on a price, let me know. I would be interested in getting mine done in the future.
What kind of cost is there to ship a pf to sparky? Can anyone take a guess? Also, what about from US to Canada? I'm curious.
I believe he already said he will not deal with shipping. It's a "local" service..

I have decided that for MAACA members, I can ship, but make a decent crate/box for it. I guess I will go through the trouble of shipping for my boyz. Worse case, I bum 5 bucks off of you for packing materials and for the trouble to bring it to a shipping store.
But be prepared... shipping a playfield is pricey... especially if the bottom of it is still populated.

Well, CPR have a business account and ship a bare playfield in a cardboard box for 35$ or something like that.
Since I have no business account, nor do I have anything for packing these, I recommend the buddy system. Send it to someone that will pass it along.
I checked with the CanadaPost website (it gives an idea...). A package masuring 55 inches X 24 inches by 2 inches (a packed, completely stripped playfield) weighing 8 pounds is 45$ by snail-mail package (10 days ) or 60$ Xpresspost. Keep in mind that you will pay this TWICE. Shipping can be reduced by passing the playfield on... like if I go to TO, I bring it, then pass it on to someone going to like let's say, London, and so on.
