Finally Steve gets a dedicated episode!!

Fantastic work Steven, and everyone else that helped, that new top looks amazing! :D

nice job steve very informative love your work you have a good eye for detail and you take pride in your work it shows

Crazy incredible.. And yep i want a copy of that book

I put one of these on my Comet a while back. It's a legitimately good product. It looks beautiful and plays like there's a sheet of glass on the playfield.

Not only did you do a good job Mr. Tuckey but you ARE a good job! I wouldn't be watching if it wasn't for you! Keep on hammin' it up!

Great job! Love all of the videos very informative and funny! Please keep them coming, I’ve learned so much!

Thumbs up just for the way Todd points his finger LOL!

I love these hard tops. I've got one installed on my space shuttle that has a few thousand plays on it now and looks and good as the day I installed it. An amazing product to save these old games indeed.

Those hardtops are cool. What a useful restoration tool. It's a good thing Steven has such a steady hand and the patients to lay one of those down.

Turned out great! A buddy of mine has the BK ready to install. We plan to do that this Fall. I'll make a video on it. I hope they keep making more of these for many more machines. Much easier than air brushing a clear coating...

Awesome video Todd! Glad to see my Space Shuttle make your pictures at the end!

Wow! What a transformation. I hope they make some more of those play fields. Awesome video.

That brand new playfield is absolutely stunning! Wow. I'm so jealous. I want this for my machine!

That's fantastic. Hopefully a lot of great machines are brought back to life with these :)

Todd this is a huge treat

Merci pour cette vidéo Todd ! Comme d'habitude c'est super bien fait. L'opération de pose est bien détaillée et très bien expliquée. Ca donne envie de se lancer pour ceux qui hésiteraient encore avec cette technique. Bravo !

I love this this stuff (watching intensely) That's a great product. Have a Strato Flite that could use that. Thanks for the tip brother. Colors look perfect.

I couldn't breath watching that hard top being applied. Great work.

Absolutely stunning!!!! Wow I hope the company that makes the playfield stickers will produce all playfields!!!!

UPVOTE! Todd any chance in the future you can do a Todd’s Tips on soldering new coils into your machine? I tried doing one and I’m such a hack. I’d love to see one of your guys do it.

man thats lot of work.Steve is the right man for this :)

Wow that playfield is no joke, I worked in printing at one time and I know how hard it is to get something like that right, colors, sizing, etc. Nice piece.

verry nice now waiting for more than the 12 versions they have now ;)

I love Comet! Such a fun, basic game, great lights and sounds! I regret selling mine...

That's was really cool 😎 Two 👍👍 way way up!

amazing video and beautiful playfield layout! btw i just got the new book and already ordered vol 2!

I am impressed ! You sold me on that new playfield overlay. Hope you get a good discount for the great plug you gave them.

Great install vid

great looking machine! great restore in every way

Nice work!

Great Video Beautiful Looking Machine One of my favorite Machines My wishlist is a Machine from TNT

Once the hardtop is on, you could either spray it down with a little silicon spray and then use a large plastic bondo card to rub it down. Then you remove the top layer protection and it takes the silicon spray with it. Another option is a tile roller, then you don't need the silicon spray. Just a thought.

Great job on the play field 👍

Looks really good! I wish something like this for Data East Batman would become available!

Pinball looks great!

High Speed would be a good game to make a hard top for. :)

All I can say is WOW Beautiful game....

That's real talent great job.

Steven... Who works for who? Question.. would you wax this prior to installing all components? Awesome Job Steven!

Nice this Hardtop overlay great 👍🏼

Finished product looks Great. * Like New *

Looks Great Todd! ;)

Todd, funny you just did this. Yesterday, I was looking for an upper playfield for my Black Knight and I came across this. I am going to purchase one. I also have a 1978 Playboy for 36 years and in great shape but does this decrease the value of a pin?

Nice! Once it's installed in the game and the glass is back on, is it possible to tell it's an overlay or does it basically look like a brand new playfield once the game is all reassembled?

Those guys just won all my pf protector biz! That Hollyood Heat was jealous too =)

nice job!

Do you need to apply a sealer to the wood before applying the overlay, or will it stick to the wood ok?

Amazing work!

Awesome video!!! I see from Barcelona

Today was my Birthday and it went good so i'm happy. :)

I know this was a few years ago but would you guys do the white jewel posts again or would you go back to red?

Great job Steve. Very tedious work and you have to get it right the first time. Looks superior to the other overlays that are out there.

I'd buy one of these if they had one for any games I own. I would have been first in line for a bally playboy.

Non Hot Dog version of space shuttle? Do you have any links or pictures you can link here to see them? Never heard of that version of space shuttle, is it early production?

A couple of things presented here seem to contradict what others have said / done. *Here, people hold the other half in place. Most people anchor the hardtop towards the center. This seems less secure. *Steve says that the top alignment can be adjusted as being placed down. This hardtop is stiff. Once it is attached at one end, there is almost zero adjustment in alignment that can be made. Also, this video says almost nothing about prepping the playfield and the inserts. A first time installer needs info on the grit of the sandpaper plus the application of the 'clear' over the inserts. And that the hardtop manufacturer says to let the clear sit a minimum of 3 days prior to application of the top.

Data east Batman also

Now the big question..do you wax these just like a normal playfield for longevity?

Damn fine job. Awesome. Steven needs to wear eye protection! Otherwise tell him thank you please. Oh...got my book. Love it. Waiting for book #2. Better to be a working man than working woman?

I think is really nice, i just don't like the added glare the plastic gives it

7:05 - LOL

Do you still have to wax that play field

Go Steve \0/

Once you've actually tried swapping a complete playfield wiring, you never want to do it again

it's not that bad Todd Steve could touch that up quite easily I think it would be better to take the backing off first roll it round itself into a tube and place the centre and line the centre and then roll it out from the centre to the top and bottom. you need to tell the manufacturer they need a stiffer backing paper to stop it flaking and peeling. use a rubber squeegee when placing it on to get the air out I tile grouter would be ideal thick rubber. I would just go over with some wet and dry 800 in the ball groove just where the plastic meets the wood could be a bit high there and the ball could rise up! sand it down smooth on that point. you should squeegee it with a grouting paddle it's not stuck down that firmly! could it peel off in the future!? I would even apply a hair dryer while doing it. yes Playboy here's a idea if they're watching, make the girls holographic when you turn your head it will make them strip👍 add a new dimension to the game

Why did that mrs pacman have an asteroids bezel?

FIRST!!!

First to comment !

Todd why does it seem like your items are overpriced. Lay off the hoogies, and stay cutting some real deals on those pinball Machines.
