Quoted from frenchmarky:I still have seven pins - one dmd, four 80s machines and two EMs - but I’ve owned about 70 pins over the last 35 years. Many classic single player Gottliebs, some of the great Williams, Bally & Stern dmd games like TZ, STTNG, Shadow and LOTR. They're all gone now but I’ve hung on to my Fast Draw for 30+ years because I simply NEVER get tired of playing it, my #1 favorite. There is an unexplainable and magical genius in this game despite its simplicity. The only pf wear is the usual, at the kicker holes. I put in a new backglass, new drop and bullseye targets, flattened a few overly-cupped inserts and added a pair of struts underneath to straighten out a slight warp it’s developed over the last three decades.
Still... you ever get a brand new playfield but you don’t really want to put it in? -sniffle-

If I had YOUR Fastdraw I would definitely not replace the playfield. Original is Original ! Mine was really bad , with bare wood in places and all sort of problems. took me a great deal of trouble to restore it to new condition https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/surf-champ-slow-playfield-restoration
I would go with the new playfield if it was available at the time though.
