A true master. Love the videos. Always learn something new.

Very nice indeed

You always cover things that I have questions about. I am ready now to tackle the EarthShaker playfield I need to repair and clear.

That’s great. ES playfields are tough to deal with.

Hey Chris Happy New year! Why are the Diamond Plated playfields so special? Is it the wood? How many coats of clear are on it ? OR something else? Just curious! Videos are turning out great! 👍👍🍻🍻

Happy New year Scott! The Diamond Plate finish is a type of clearcoat from the factory and most games with that are labeled as such somewhere on the playfield. As a result of that factory applied clear the playfields held up better and for me it gives a stable surface to recoat and rework on top of. Thanks!

Seems like you figured out the video quality stuff, nice :)

[@highendpins]

I think so. If I load them as private then edit it later it seems to work better. Appreciate the suggestion. I wasn’t watching them here so I had no clue.
