    New playfield would definitely be worth it with that cabinet and new plastics

    I’m in the process of scratch building a Quicksilver out of a donor Wyld Fire and I would say get the new playfield. Everyone picks on Mirco but the playfield I got is good quality. I just put a #6 washer under every star post to help with any problems.

      Great tip thanks. Seen that idea on Pinside in one of the Quicksilver threads!

    That cabinet is looking SHARP. Can't wait to see how it looks with all the glossy black parts attached

    I vote for a new playfield…..I’ve done 3 or 4 in 30 years….It’s a lot of work, but the end result is worth it. My tips are to take a lot of photos before you start. Also, don’t unsolder anything you don’t need to, and when you do, put a bit of tape on the wire saying where it connects back to. ….Good luck on your mission Mike. The cabinet says it wants a new playfield….Then you’ll wind up with a collectors edition, beautiful machine…..and isn’t that what we all want??

    You gotta go new playfield on this man, don't half arse it. Give it the playfield the rest of the cabinet deserves man! Looks amazing!

    I had one of these, worked out a trade for it where I got a Space Station that was really nice. I still miss the Quicksilver and it's Heavy Metal cover art on the backglass!

    If you end up repairing the broken brackets with superglue, consider sprinkling some baking soda/powder over the joint to make it stronger...

    Yeah, new series of videos! The under/over is 10.5. I know it'll turn out great (with a replacement playfield)

    If it’s getting a fresh cabinet plastics don’t hold back on the pf.
    Just banged out a bad cats pf swap in less than a week. Way easier than it appears

    For how beatiful of a cabinet I would look for a replacement playfield as that Mylar is bad😅 maybe just ask around in various Facebook groups to see if someone has a nice playfield instead of buying a brand new one

    you should put yoppsicles in this game, put them in my seawitch, super easy and no need for altek lamp board or connectors!

    Dude, you gotta find a way to get a new playfield. No way that ratty playfield should ever sit in that excellent cabinet Kevin restored. I know it's a chunk of change, but well worth the price. Especially if you are gonna copy HEP's color scheme, which was quite excellent.

    Come on Mike, get the new playfield. Even if you need to sell a project pin to fund it. Quicksilver is a highly sought after game and you won’t lose on your investment. Can’t put that crappy used one in there, it would be a shame even for a LEP restoration..
