I have a STTNG that I want to add mirrors to, but the playfield is not centered. One side has plenty of room and the other is literally scraping on the side. I sanded out that side of the cabinet, but there is NO room to add anything. Even if I don't add anything, it will eventually scrape up the inside of the cabinet again, so is there any way to get this thing centered so it's not touching either side?

Quoted from vid1900:

Sounds like your cab has warped over the years.
You can run a felt strip down each side of the playfield.
But trust me, you will love your game a lot more if you don't have to gingerly raise the playfield; always worried about scratching those blades.

Quoted from cottonm4:

Agreed. Warped cab

So, is there anything realistic I can do about this, or am I pretty much SOL?
