I'm the dumbest person in the world!
Eric A.
I was doing a mylar removal on my day one mylar High Speed, this thing
was friggin' beautiful, I was going to take it to Expo this year! I
use the hot air gun and it comes up like a dream, colors are even
brighter than I hoped!! Unfortunately, it leaves the regular tough
glue on the playfield and I do the goo gone with the paper towel thing
and then move on to VM&P Naptha and finally on to goof off!
Nothing is working on this machine! I finally decide to heat up the
playfield a little to soften up the glue, hopefully.
I take the PROPANE torch, don't ask me why, I don't know.....(why
didn't I use the hot air gun, I did it wasn't working fast enough, but
it was working)
Well needless to say I got about 30 seconds of heating it up and
POOF!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!! Black smoke rising, tripping over the dog, and
grabbing the bucket of soapy water that I used yesterday to wipe down
the cabinet and throwing it all over the playfield only caused the
flame to roll to the underside of the playfiled! Now I'm dousing it
out with a rag trying to blow out the remains of the flames and the
fuel slick accumulating in the bottom by the coin tray.
Aired the house out, friggin' freezing now! Stripped the playfield
bare in the hopes of doing an overlay or who knows anybody have a
playfield for sale? God I'm stupid! Lets just say at this point Jesus
wouldn't be playing my High Speed!
Did I mention I'm stupid?!?!?!? Mr. coil sleeves ain't got nothing on
me! I wonder if home-owners insc. will cover this? I hope I don't have
a dummy clause.
Excuse me I have to go to bed now and cry myself to sleep....
Eric A.
P.S. Did I mention I'm STUPID?!?!?!?!?

Please people, for the love of god or any other deity you worship, PLEASE give
"just leave it alone" a chance. I would never attempt to remove mylar unless
there was simply no choice.

Rest assured, we have *all* done incredibly, incomprehensively stupid things

Burning up a playfield is actually pretty small potatoes on the "what could

Stupid stupid stupid? Yes.
You'll find a new playfield? Hopefully.
Wiser today than yesterday? Certainly.
Lesson learned and life goes on? Absolutely.

P.S. Don't be afraid to do another Mylar removal -- but you've gotta try the
freeze spray method -- you'll be amazed (but don't rush it). Then use
*only* Goo Gone to remove the glue -- just give it plenty of time to soften
the glue, and plenty of elbow grease and towels.

Also shows if you have a workbench or room you work in,
put the material in 2 parts:
- the non-harmful tools you regulary use: have them by hand
- all other tools which may be harmful and which you shouldn't use
for cleaning/shopping a pin: lock them up, keep them in another room,
somewhere out of sight.
This way you won't be grabbing something 'lets try this' because you
see it and don't think about the causes. Each time you'll have to get
something like this, the extra effort of unlocking/.. should make you
think if you really need it and why.

1 spare cabinet and head, in various stages of repair/stenciling for repaint
NOS Playfield, NOS Plastics set, including a NOS but warped header (think

But, I've got more invested then a nice High Speed goes for, so the chances
of getting my investment out are slim to none.
If someone made the right trade or cash offer, I'd consider it, but I'm not

Can't agree.. if done properly, pulling mylar can make a game look
much better, and play much better. I'm installing a
demylared/clearcoated Funhouse playfield in a cabinet, and it looks
real nice. Don't pull it unless you're willing to accept the risks,
of course.

I'd like to take a moment to plug the two most important things in
_my_ shop:
1) Working smoke detector IN THAT ROOM
2) Working (and charged!) fire extinguisher IN THAT ROOM
No proper pinball tech/collector should be without EITHER of these!
Even if you never have to use them, there's always the chance that you
_might_ have to. (And no sharing extinguishers between the kitchen
and the pinball room; they're cheap enough that you should buy one for
each!)

machine, you were putting you life in risk, your house in danger, and anyone
in it in danger. Worse case scenario you could be sitting in jail right now
looking at some serious charges. But I'm sure you've punished yourself enough
already. And I'm sure you learned, though it was an expensive lesson.
Now I'd call your insurance agent and see if you are covered. And if you get a
new playfield out of this, when your game is all back together again and you
are playing it, please be careful, we don't want to lose you on your next
repair. LTG :)

Eric, buddy, pal-o'-mine. I just want to thank you for sharing both
your story and your pics.
When I read your story, I was greatly saddened. I know it hurts like
bamboo under the fingernails when something like this happens, and you
just wish that you were an ostrich, so that you could quite easily
bury your head in the sand. As I read your story, I felt pain for
you. When I saw the pics, I looked at the before pic first,
obviously. You're right...that's one *very* nice HS playfield there.
I again went into "grieving for a friend's loss" mode.
However, when I saw that after pic, I nearly laughed myself into
various stages of coronary seizure! Oh my gosh, Eric, I'm telling
you, it may be a costly error, but the *mileage* you can get out of
that story with those *pics* is just unfathomable. I'm *still*
laughing at that picture. Your story didn't provide enough detail
into just how badly the playfield got burned...I thought that there
may have been some damage that took the playfield from "Near-mint' to
"Just okay". Rather, that little fire did enough damage to take that
playfield from "Near-mint" to "Got snot-slinging drunk and gave it to
my little brother's Cub Scout group so that they could make s'mores
over it on their weekend camping trip to Lake Woebegone". That's a
category that I don't even think has been *invented* until you came
along! I'm *really* not trying to pour salt in the wound here, Eric.
I'm *trying* to help you see JUST HOW STINKING FUNNY this really is.
I mean, yeah, I might not see it as humorously on your side of the
fence, but trust me...you're going to look back at that playfield
(you're *never* going to let yourself sell it or trash it...it's just
too good...) and laugh your face off in the not-too-distant future.
Eric, my friend, I feel some of your pain, and I'm dreadfully sorry
that this happened. However, I'm *so glad* that you shared this with
us. It's a painful reminder, but it's *also* one humdinger of a
*great* pinball story.
Don't be surprised if you get a call from Clay asking if he can use
your playfield in a future TOP tape as an example of what happens
"When Things Go Wrong". I understand that Fox is doing a special on
it pretty soon.
Good luck, Eric. Thanks again.
Aron (who, while also stupid, has yet to cause serious injury to
himself or his collection...key word here: yet)

the day in amazement over those pictures. I hope you can find a
replacement playfield. This will be a great learning experience story to
share for years to come. I think this may be the start of an urban legend
one day.

Seriously, thanks for sharing, I'm sure many playfields were saved today as
a result.

what?!?!? Some guy actually pissed his pants!!
They all know me too well and the sad thing is, this will probably be
not too far off from the truth when the agent comes here tomorrow.
Wish me luck!

I think it's a little too late for an athletic protector. That blow has already
been delivered. :)

But if you do pursue this, ask about claim limits. Many policies only
allow a certain amount of claims (as few as one or two in some cases),
so make sure you aren't "burning" a claim (heh) with something relatively
low cost enough that you lose an opportunity down the road for a larger
one.

HOLY CRAP!!!! You mean they will pay you for the time it takes to do the
playfield swap?!?!? Dang... now *that's* what I call a good insurance
policy.
BTW - Did you take my advice and tell the agent that it was a one armed man
who broke into your house, raped your dog and then set fire to you pinball
machine? ;-)

Unless you're remodelling the house and the kitchen IS the pinball room. :)
