Tearing down and restoring a playfield - Best practices/advice???
I'm considering this... I have a Dr. Dude, it works perfectly but has considerable wear on the playfield... I got an estimate that came in around 600 because of the level of work needed. The cost is a little high for me, at least for this particular pin.
I'm pretty sure I can handle the artwork restoration... I'm pretty decent with a paint brush and color blending. Plus I'd like to try this once.
My main concern is how to manage the tear down and rebuild. If I had another playfield I could just move from one to the other but unfortunately I don't... everything will have to come off and be put someplace then put back on (hopefully correctly).
How do you folks manage this sort of thing???
