Hi everybody,

I have a Fish Tales that I love but I noticed after I bought it that there are what appear to be 'Runs' in the playfield. Not sure if this is paint or clear coat.. or something else.. but I can't imagine it passed QC at the factory like this.

I was thinking that if it's clear coat I might be able to sand it level and then re-polish but this is, of course, at high risk of screwing up the paint and makes me nervous.

Any suggestions for how I might be able to fix it? Have you seen this type of defect on a Diamond Plate PF before?

Thanks, Ryan

It certainly could be factory, everything was going to operators back then. They wouldn't care. It looks like you need a bright light and a close eye to see it. If it were mine I wouldn't touch it. It wouldn't deter me from buying either. That said, I've never noticed that on any B/W pins I've had.

Hard to tell from the picture but could it be bubbles in mylar? Do they feel hard when you push with your fingernail?
