I have an unpopulated playfield that I would like to use as wall art.
What is the best way to hang these? I was thinking of running a picture wire through some of the holes at the top and using pictures hooks, but I don't know if this would be the best method.
Also, is it ok for drywall, or do I need to hand it from studs?
Quoted from Defender:I have been using the 7/8 rubber post sleeves and sticking them into one of the through holes at the top, then screwing through the post rubber. It compresses down a bit, and puts pressure on the through hole, holding the playfield in place.
This method does not damage the playfield, which is good if you are using playfield that may later be installed in games.

Thank you, I was worried about the picture wire potentially doing damage.
Quoted from Dayhuff:O'man...., where do I begin? Lots of old pictures and I've certainly tweaked the collection since then but you'll get the idea.

Umm wow, that is amazing
Quoted from 85vett:Grabbed some pictures to help visualize how it turns out. I thought I used drywall screws but it looks like I just used some deck screws I had laying around already when we moved. Should have used drywall but even those hold it nice and tight against the wall.
Boxed out the screw locations to help show them.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Thank you! I think I am going to go with this method. Gotta pick up some drywall screws tomorrow.
