those of you with mirco TOM playfields- did you cruzman them or not?
Hey Neil,
So I spoke to a few on the topic of Mirco playfields.
Ant sends his off to Kruzman but he has a mammoth queue, others say they've had no issues in a HUO environment. So far I've had Mirco playfields on my FT, ToM x 2 and soon about to do a Creech. The FT has held up well with no issues.
I'll say this:
I've had
CPR - Had hole alignment issues on TAF, dimples were next to useless. Playfield however is fine. Had missing holes on top of playfield also
Mirco: FT had missing holes for the posts above each in lane, had to burr off the clear, drill into the playfield, clear had held up though. ToM playfields had minor dimple issues around the kick out area for the 'Vanish'.
I've got 2 more silk screened playfields both names I'm unsure of but they don't make playfields anymore apparently, one which I installed for Scared Stiff, this one had missing holes in a lot of places for posts etc however the clear has been rock solid, the other I have is for MB but I haven't installed that one yet. It does have some colour bleed along the edge however...
Of the 3 (potentially 4) Playfield manfacturers I've used, I've found the Mirco playfields to be the most consistant dimple/hole wise. Clear I'd say seems to ball trail easier than the others and the ToM on one is already showing dimples where the balls have it into the playfield but no different than a modern stern.
If you want piece of mind, go for the Kruzman clear is my final thoughts.
