Hey everyone,
I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice. I recently picked up two pins that I plan on keeping for a long time. I buy and sell games all the time but these two I will keep. They are Family guy, HUO and an Indiana Jones. The games have no playfield wear, except the family guy by the through. THey are both being torn down for a complete shop job now, and since I am going through that I am wondering, clear them or not. Both are getting full led kits, rubber kits, balls, idj new flipper rebuilds, idj inside side decals and back of playfield lost plastic.
I am wondering if I should clearcoat these or not. I have heard that they may devalue the games, but that is not too much of a concern because I am keeping them. My main reason is so that I can be lazy and not clean them as often. Also I love the way a playfield looks almost wet with a good coat.
Also on a side note, my IDJ has great art on it except for the right side of the back box is faded. I purchased replacements for both sides and am wondering if this is a good idea after all. Is it better if the thing is all original?
Thanks for any comments or suggestions. Trying to figure this all out.
