Hey all!

I have some pretty rough ware on my TAF play field ball eject area.
Ideas of how to best and easiest do a solid functional repair?
It is not a case of a 'show room'-pin but a 'decent players quality'

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

A simple answer for player quality could be Quickwood (some sort of wood epoxy) plus a cliffy. I'd form the wood putty in the gap, install the cliffy, then trim around while the putty was workable.

It takes a medium to high level of woodworking, but you could use a router to take the top 2 layers of plywood out in that section and patch it back with hardwood (maple). Fit the new piece, then glue and clamp it into place. Finish it off with some minor sanding and spray lacquer. It's easier if you remove the playfield from the game.

Where are you located? Maybe someone can help.

Thanx I would have loved some help, and I am happy to hear that we have so generous fellow pinsiders, I do sadly tough live in Europe, Sweden so it's a bit to far...

Great tip tough, I will have to see if can pursue that as the true goal.
I would need a quick fix meanwhile.

This is my 'quick fix' for the issue, until I get the time and skills to do a real repair....

I like this - where did you find that skeleton-part?

I think that coffin is a scared stiff or monster bash mod that you can purchase online.

Mima, how did you get the shooter collar to light up? Led attached to something to power it under there? Lol a picture and/or parts list would be nice if you have the time.
