    Hi all

    I have a spare NOS PF that I would like to hang on the wall. Sometime ago, I saw a post where a pinsider hung the PF using star posts as a spacer to keep it off the wall. Can't seem to find that post however, and would like to replicate that method.

    Any other tips? Any dangers?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for all the replies!

    Im mostly concerned with keeping the PF usable for a replacement down the road, and to a lesser degree showing off the art work.

    Time to build some play field rails and get them installed ASAP.

    Either that or just sell the pin with a new play field for swapping ...

    Quoted from Grinder901:

    What are the playfield rails I need to help keep it from warping?

    The black blocks of wood that run along the edge of the play field. Helps keep everything square.

    Quoted from Grinder901:

    Where can I buy some? Is there a thread handy on how to put them on my playfield?

    Not sure you can buy them ... but Pinball MikeD talks about them in one of his videos (and makes some!)...

    Quoted from Grinder901:

    How long does it take before a playfield starts to warp?

    All depends on humidity/lack of I would think. It is just wood after all.
