I agree in some situations. The inserts on this title frequently lift and sink causing bubbles in the mylar. My main concern with a machine that was left in unconditioned space would be paint lifting with the mylar on the planked playfied. A previous owner of my F14 took the mylar off and 1/10 of the paint with it... Also with sunken inserts, it doesn't take long to wear the paint on the edges of them without the mylar there to protect it. I have lots of insert wear on mine in a home use environment and thats only since the mylar was removed. I would try cleaning and polishing the mylar and use some of vids tips on fixing bubbles in mylar and see if the results are good enough for a player quality machine. Or, if the guts and cabinet can be refurbished, this makes a great candidate for a reproduction playfield swap, whenever they are available!

WOW, that worked MUCH better than on mine, even with the planking of your playfield. Impressive...
