Interesting question. Working on my TZ. Stripped down the entire topside of the playfield. It's in really really nice shape. Minimal wear on any of the scoops. The only defect is a tiny nick by the camera insert. It's original and it's really really nice.
The question came into my mind a few times (and Ted came out and asked it) about whether I should swap the playfield.
Something to be said for a nice clearcoated playfield. And getting one that's pre-drilled for the third magnet would be nice.
But something to be said for keeping the nice original one as well.
I'm 75% of the way to being able to do a swap. As you can see, entire topside is torn down. I would just need to move the wiring over.
Cost-wise...the Mirco is $900. Figure I could sell the original for $500 and sell the extra mini playfield for another $100 (my mini playfield is pristine)...so out of pocket maybe $300 in the end.
What do you guys think?
