Jokerz - Playfield Restoration by Bill Davis
This is my first pinball restoration project, and when removing some mylar also removed a big patch of paint, I knew I needed help for the playfield. The name "Bill Davis" kept popping up in web searches of the topic, and after locating his website and talking with him, I decided to give it a try.
In short, the man is very, very good at this. He has developed techniques for fixing playfields that must be seen to be appreciated. Here are some photos to illustrate the results.
