Not sure if anyone else has had the same issue or this is just related to my playfield. I bought this playfield new when they first came out several years ago. I purchased the top of the line ceramic coat and it was stored in a climate controlled environment ever since. This year I was going to complete the restoration on my AFM. I pulled the playfield out and noticed several areas where the artwork has delaminated from the wood underneath the ceramic coat. It appears to be contained in mostly the black but it's really obvious and in several different areas of the playfield and it looks like it will continue to spread. I had several people who restore playfields look at it and say it cannot be fixed. Thank goodness I didn't do the playfield swap before this happened. Please be sure to check your playfield if you purchased one of the original ones when they first came out.

Contact him and I'm sure he will replace that playfield for you.

I agree that it probably can not be fixed.

Is that a Mirco / High Class Pinballs playfield?

I did contact him. Bottom line is there is only a 90 warranty in the US. I bought this in the first run when they came out many years ago.

Wow, I can't believe he does not stand behind is product any longer than 90 days in a box !!!!!!!

He's had it for years. How is he supposed to know how it's been stored or what else has happened to it?

Sucks all around but can't be shocked that he won't take back a playfield he sold many years ago.

I agree as well. There is no way for him to have a lifetime warranty and no what people have done to the storage of the playfield and the general overall care.

90 days still seems shitty to me
