can you solicit an article by one (or
more) of your operator friends/subscribers
on the details of playfield :Iey'lar
installation and removal, as well as the
advantages and disadvantages of using
playfield IT!Ylars?
We are getting more and more requests for
this, and really don't want to recorrmend
it, because of its effect on garne play. We
are concerned from the view that many
operators/distributors .QQ install
Iey'lars, and \\Quld like their reasons for
doing so, as well as any helpful hints on
techniques. (We are concerned about
inexperienced people not doing it well and
ruining the playfield art as a result.)
If you know of someone who can recarrnenq
both the proper (or best) type of adhesive
backing for these, and the proper
technique, it might serve the industry
very well.
