Thanks Marco.

That paint lifting issue, a pita for you, but a real treat for us! I loved to see how this came together. Again you make it looks easy.

[@highendpins]

Thanks. It could have been and I have seen much worse. It seems almost exclusive to Williams playfields from the mid 70s up into the System 11 years. Very hit and miss as well as unpredictable. You won’t know until it happens. Then you just have to deal with it.

Chris - Great video! Great tunes! Thanks for sharing.

[@JohnEricBooth]

Brilliant. Really enjoying this! Space Mission brings back fond memories of elementary school

[@Richthofen80]

The work seems almost meditative, so exacting and unique, every step. Thanks for posting videos, dude. If you ever come to the Northeast let me know, I'll buy you a beer!

[@highendpins]

There is definitely a zone you can get into doing it if you have the patience that day. I will definitely take you up on that if I get up that way. 🍻

Who does your board work? Love your content btw

[@highendpins]

I use Clive at the Coin Op Warehouse. Have for a couple decades now. Always great service.

Do you also do a full scan of a playfield once it's finished? It seems to me that you bring back the playfields into the most perfect shape they've ever been. Having it 'digital' so it can be remade more easily? The results are magnificent btw. 😍

[@highendpins]

Thank you. No I never scan anything not to do the work nor after. I just do everything manually because I am no good with the computer. I know how to make circles,squares and sometimes match the letters.

Man you do awesome work! I'm trying to stencil a worn spot on my Flash Gordon, could I please ask what brand of stencil film you are using when you cut the pockets using a razor blade? Thanks in advance!

I really appreciate it, thanks! ​@@highendpins

This video is validating, I thought maybe I was a crazy person for putting in the energy needed to make all those oramask keyline stencils 😂👍👍🫡

[@Jesselovespinball]

@thefeldons2934 - You are definitely not the only one . Your just as sane as I am 😂

[@highendpins]

It’s about the only way to make perfect circles. I used to hate seeing circles that needed repainting up until a few years ago when I got that machine.

[@ADRUNKPUNKPRODUCTION]

What printer are you using for the circle stencils?

[@highendpins]

I am using a Silhouette Cameo 3
