It eventually did on my Black Knight SoR

The outcome for me was a new (empty) playfield, although I had a few other pooling issues on my BK playfield too. What you see in my photo is from the left orbit rail. The right orbit rail has a spot that looks like what is shown in your photo. I also have pooling around the posts in the top WAR lanes and around the posts in front of the Black Knight toy. I sent photos of all the different spots to my distributor and raised my concerns over how the playfield will hold up long term since it was like this within 6 months. They were good to deal with and raised a warranty claim with Stern for me. This was back in March when everything was shutting down due to COVID, so there was a delay in getting it sorted out. But a few weeks ago a new playfield arrived safely.

For someone like myself, it is actually a fun project. Although from experience I'd allow more than a weekend to do it Anyone who's followed the repair write ups on my site (www.enteryourinitials.com) knows I willingly spend too much time working on games or my homebrew projects
