First off I am not a restoration guy in general.Just interested in what you guys look for in playfields to decide if it's a wall hanger or candidate for restoration?For example I just bought this earthshaker and it seems mostly ok,Not pristine or anything but maybe better than just a wall hanger?

Looks pretty restorable to me.

Unless the inserts are a toatl mess or there is warping...I'd say send it out for restoration.

If value for your money is a concern I’d say just buy a repro. You’ll spend more restoring it than it’s worth. CPR has already done the work, when they have digital printing for single playfield orders available there should be almost no waiting.

Not terrible, but the CPR ones are pretty awesome. If you go the CPR route, I'd take that playfield off your hands.
Good luck, JR
