In 2017 we introduced the Hardtop™. Since then, thousands of pinball restorers in 20+ countries have chosen them for a durable, faster, lower cost way for a high-quality restoration. After years of steady improvements, we're announcing Hardtop™ 2.0!

Our Hardtop 2.0 is more resistance to temperature changes. It widens the performance margin in uncontrolled conditions. Click here for more details about why this was needed. 

We've done with a small price adjustment. All new Hardtop orders will feature our improved 2.0 material. We will no longer be producing our original Hardtops.

WHAT HASN'T CHANGED:
  • Still less than half the time and less than half the cost of a full playfield swap
  • Same custom hard coating. Remember, if it doesn't have our lab-tested abrasion-resistant crystal-clear coating that's harder than a clearcoat, then it isn't a Hardtop™!
  • Same high quality artwork
  • Same pre-cut holes
  • Same peel-and-stick aggressive adhesive
  • All of our current titles are available, with more new titles on the way!

Thank you all for your years of support. We look forward to helping bring more of your pins back to life with our Hardtop 2.0!

What's a Hardtop™?

A Hardtop is our high-quality pinball playfield repair solution. It's ideal for a game with a really worn playfield, and one that might never have a reproduction playfield or another good restoration option.

​What it's NOT:
  • It is NOT a thin, stretchy decal.
  • It is NOT a new playfield.
  • It is NOT a clear overlay printed on plain plastic.
​
What it IS:
  • A Hardtop is made from a sheet of semi-rigid, dimensionally stable, extremely durable, crystal clear material.
  • A Hardtop has a custom lab-tested anti-abrasion coating that's harder than a clear coat. If it doesn't have our coating, it's not a Hardtop™!
  • A Hardtop is printed on the underside with the highest quality, completely recreated and fully licensed art. The ball can never touch the ink.
  • A Hardtop has all holes indexed to our sample and pre-cut. 
  • A Hardtop has an aggressive, permanent adhesive pre-applied to the back, and protected by a release liner. 
  • A Hardtop can be installed by only de-populating the top of the playfield. Fully stripping your playfield is optional. 
  • A Hardtop takes less than half the time and less than half the cost of a typical full playfield swap.
  • A Hardtop is a faster way to a high-quality restoration!

Praise from happy customers

"HOLY COW THIS THING IS INCREDIBLE. ITS GORGEOUS. All the routed stuff fits perfectly, putting the star-rollover in was a breeze. These are going to save a lot of machines. You are doing amazing work.​"

"This is a machine that I received as an unassembled basket case that had gotten water damage to the playfield. The hardtop absolutely saved it."

"...​doing one of these is a breeze compared to a complete playfield replacement. If you start with a complete game and just have to remove the topside, apply the Hardtop and reinstall the topside parts, there's no comparison."

"Well let me tell you how incredibly impressed we all were with your marvelous invention...I think this is one of the best things to happen to Pinball collecting in years"

"Thank you for continuing to make Hardtops and continuing to improve them. This is my third one and it is so easy to install and looks fantastic."

"I am going to be doing my fourth install on a High Speed I ordered a few days ago. Can’t wait because these are brilliant. I just wanted you to know that your product I think saved this hobby."
​
"I've used your hardtop five times now and am very pleased with how everyone of them fit and turned out. The people that had me do three of them are pleased as well. Great product!"

Questions about installing a Hardtop?

Dirty parts? Get the best Ultrasonic cleaner around!

We demonstrated two sizes of these industrial ultrasonic cleaners at our booth at Pinball Expo 2023.
​These are not the typical cheap "hobby" models. It's amazing how fast and easy they clean even the most intricate parts to look "like new". Even clipped-together wires could just be dunked in the tank as-is!

​You can literally watch the decades of dirt and grime float away in minutes. It gets all the "hard-to-reach" areas, giving you back precious and valuable time to do something else.
