Thanks much Bryan although it isn’t art or talent IMO… My X-old lady
laughed when she asked me to draw a cat, she said “Are you serious?
This looks like a three year old drew it!!?” I have NO artistic talent.
I do have a steady hand and LOTS of time. I don’t create art, I just
fill in/coppy what’s missing, just like paint by numbers. Nothing more
than that and mixing colors well.
The thing I hope people take away from my sharing this work is that
ANYONE can restore a PlayField, just:
Watch your TOP videos:

Read your Repair/Restoration Guides:
http://marvin3m.com/fix.htm
Take full advantage of all the resources here in RGP history and/or
feel free to ask before you step. After that:
Practice on old junk PF’s first until you get it right and feel
comfortable. “This ain’t rocket science people” Say like Emeral from
that cooking show… BAM!!!!! I’m still a newbie so if I can do it,
anyone can do it, If you say you can’t ever do that, you never will.
“You can’t have no in your heart” Say like Joe Dirt.
Happy New Year all, Karl.
