Watching you hammer 😮I’m thinking please don’t miss and hit the PF 😊 Love these videos Chris 👏

[@highendpins]

Still have pretty good hand to eye coordination at this now 51 years of age. Don’t worry 😉

I'm shopping a Whirlwind right now. Second one I've done. You do an amazing job. Just to let you know, you are going to get tagged by KZbin for that background music at some point and they will silence your video so be careful.

[@highendpins]

Thanks man. I am trying to figure out a way to eliminate the background noise without losing the commentary. While the videos are edited down it’s the entire day that’s captured too long to work in total silence.

Sad that CPR quality has gone down. They used to make great quality PFs.

[@highendpins]

Yes the direct print throughout the hobby has been a terrible downgrade.

I had an ebd pf done most likely by the same guy. I had the same issues and the pf was ruined. He suggested to predrill with a diamond bit but that didn't help at all.

[@highendpins]

Yeah if a playfield comes with a kit to fix all the shit that goes wrong with it while you try to assemble it then it’s already ruined.

Lol! Mocking wife voice!

[@highendpins]

She loves it!

What's your opinion on the clear coat that comes standard on the CPR playfields?

[@highendpins]

It’s fine overall. A true automotive clear. Catalyzed four to one style. The lone issue with it is typically application. They clear them in large lots and as a result there are hits and misses. Sometimes its looks fine other times it needs correction but it is a solid product overall. The product is not the issue there only the potential application.
