ChadTower:
That's good stuff. Wish I had the spare time to start in on some of that type of work.

The Low End Pins shop does not endorse such thorough and high-falutin' craftsmanship!
Actually the inserts weren't below the level of the pf, they were just severely cupped. The red inserts still had sharp and shooter letters screened on them in good shape so I skipped the removing/sanding/flattening and filled instead. I checked them all and none were loose. I actually filled them to overflowing so the gaps around the inserts would be filled as well. Hopefully things will come out ok . . . the pinball deities definitely have a soft spot for the ladies!
Something about this area - every old machine around here has cupped inserts bigtime. I don't know if this is just gameplan or a certain playfield manufacturer, but the insert holes on this PF are stepped. You can look through the inserts and tell that the hole on the bottom of the PF is smaller than the top. so Hopefully nothing will sink in the future. I've seen most playfields have just a ridge in the middle of the plywood.

I slapped a Sharpshooter 2 backglass in mine - absolutely no regrets.

Sorry, Jennifer. I don't think he has the original backglass.

Hey, Roger and Young Roger made the cover of Pinball Magazine*
http://www.pinball-magazine.com/?p=370
From the preview I see they have a graphic explaining which of Roger's friends and relatives are depicted on the SS backglass. No more comments about the Ladies, please -- Looks like at least one of them was/is somebody's lovely wife.
