Quoted from Luppin:Wood is a living material. I've heard that all playfields are destined to become trash over time because of this. Is it true? I am asking especially regarding clearcoated playfields. Some of them are now 25+ years old, and still in very good conditions. But after another 30 or 50 years, what will happen to these playfields (stored in a climate controlled environment)?
Same as antique wooden furniture. My Grandad had a rocking chair from 1771. Still worked well in his living room in 1990.
