I’ve had both feet break off. Took a coin box lid and cut out a bracket the shape of the bottom of sparky and bolted the feet to it and secured it to the base of him. Can kinda see the bolts coming up in this pic on his feet and it is ugly but works. This met has around 180k plays so a little more wear than most.

For the mag core those need replaced around 3-4k plays. If the damage to the playfield is to far gone I have drilled out and replaced with the newer style as those do not mushroom

Quoted from newpinbin:

180k in plays!!!! Must have been a routed machine? If you could snap a few pics from the playfield. Would enjoy seeing how the machine is holding up and how it looks after all that.

Still on route today. All but 4 of my listed machines in profile are on route. This met not my highest played machine either..

Quoted from newpinbin:

My guess would be Iron Man for the most plays.

Quoted from flecom:

I was thinking of doing that on my IM I had on route, you have to drill the hole all the way through for the big ring? I thought the playfield was thicker than the new big core?

You do need to drill all the way through, but the area around the magnet core is thinner so the magnet part fits better and is closer to the playfield. The thinner area is what causes the core to be able to grab and flex/damage the area around it.
