Very new to the hobby, This is my first pin.

I am on the fence on whether or not I should restore the cabinet?

Quoted from klr650:

Wow, that playfield looks great! If it were me I would already be sanding out the shooter lane and get the 2PAC ready!

Very Sorry like I said, new to this. So what your saying is I can sand out the groove in the shooting lane (I was wondering what to do with this) Also how about the wear at the top arch?

Sorry, I do not know what a 2PAC is. It took me hours to get the playfield to look like it does now, I should have taken a before picture. Up real close there are some minor little specks but not bad for its age. The biggest thing on the playfield is the logo in the middle.

Thanks MikeO for the information and advice. My top picture shows it after it was put back together and played about 20 games. first time I knocked all the targets down. There is two coats of carnauba wax on it. You can see the reflection from the back glass on it.

Still have a couple lights that need addressed, and the only thing on the PF that's driving me crazy is the jack of spades insert, the ball gets redirected right down the center most of the time. trying to search and read on what to do about that.
