Hello folks, I recently performed a perilous mylar removal on my
Funhouse. The end results were fabulous. Under all that yellowed and
bubbled mylar was a playfield in nearly perfect conditon. I decided to
simply keep the playfield waxed (HUO) and not apply a clearcoat. I
really think it looks best this way.
My next project is a little different. My wife has a Bugs Bunny that
she is quite fond of. She collects lots of Bugs Bunny stuff and this
pin is essential to her collection. The original playfield is very dry
with lots of alligator cracking. Much dirt has accumulated in the fine
cracks in the finish. The paint is also missing from many of the
inserts. So, I purchased a NOS playfield from Marco. The new
playfield is in a box in my den and looks fantastic. I actually
expected it to show some signs of age from years of storage, but its
actually quite perfect. Now, keep in mind, this is a mostly white
playfield. Should I clearcoat this playfield to prevent is from
getting dry and flaky like the original.
