Quoted from toastbot:Also check for playfield wear where the ball drops on launch. Mine had some when I got it, but I wasn't really concerned because you can't really see it during gameplay, and can you can usually prevent further wear by adding a piece of mylar on that spot.
Agreed. This was the worst spot on my otherwise decent BSD. Every ball that gets launched into play lands in that spot. My game had the silkscreened graphics cracked but complete in that area, however the wood was soft beneath the graphics. You could press on it and see it give a little. That was a fun repair to do, but once repaired, touched up and mylared, it's fine. I just wish someone put mylar there years ago.
