    Will do! The dryer I'm using for the mylar removal works wonders - not sure I'll be able to save the decals as they're kinda falling apart but I have new protectors to help cover some of the damage plus paint

    Thank you!! It's the game that got me too :D granted as dumb as it sounds it was a YouTube video showing off a refurb of one and showing how it played and the cool art style/theme that really got me wanting my own machine 😂 that was about a decade ago back in college... Second actually! After...

    Rockin sounds like a good move then :) and thank you for the advice and checking out my progress on the little touch ups I'm doin!! Will show off the colored cab protectors when they come in too. Hoping to cover some of this decal damage and plus I think the yellow will be cool haha

    Thank you!! And sure that would be awesome :D here's a pic - I was lucky to find some matching paint for the orange and black, possibly the yellow too, once I finish the mylar removal I'd like to paint over this bit and seal it however I need to. Also, would getting a little protective piece...

    That makes a lot of sense - and well to be honest I think I got a little spooked by a friend of mine who told me some horror stories and got me on the protector train in the first place 😅 I'm glad to be pulling the mylar since the ball got stuck on edges of it regularly so will be nice to have...

    Keeper for me as well and thank you!! I like that it has way better coverage than the mylar, and it's way less of a hassle to put down and way less of a time investment than clear coating (which I don't know how to do right anyway). There was some damage under the ramp drops and I'd like to...

    Very glad I only have mylar on the front half then oof - still a lotta insert decals to worry about but less :) will update here once I start the project hopefully by the weekend! In the meantime got some new plastics in that a guy from Pinside was nice enough to send me - gotta fix the screw...

    Thank you for the tips! Will go as slow as can be with it, the playfield is gorgeous (and the back is already mylar free) so I wanna do my best to preserve it and not pull any paint. In your experience is compressed air better than heat? I have a hair dryer I was thinking I'd try but if air...

    Ey you never know! I didn't think I'd find this guy in a million years until I realized I could afford shipping costs haha :) granted I recommend vetting the game heavily on video before purchasing!

    Help Finding Leg Levelers/Casters for Super Hang-On cabinet with mini bike

    Thank you!! I'm lucky to have found it for sure :) hope to keep it awhile I've fallen in love with it. There's more work to do as well - just figured out today that the roms aren't quite right 😂 don't think I should be able to see the vibration setting in the diagnostic menu, as that's only on...

    SOLVED: Super Hang On (mini ride on) bad road signs

    Great job finding a fix! I think I've run into a very similar if not the same issue, and noticed that strangely if I'm in the diag test menu it shows checks for vibration even though that's only on the upright? It's like the road is the correct game version, but the signs are not. Will try...
