This is all pretty standard stuff on a 33-year old pinball machine so don't sweat it or decide you need to go all intifada on the seller. Just address the issues one by one and you'll be ok.

The cabinet wear and the playfield wear is simply the cost of doing business and it shouldn't bother you. If you don't want any of that you need to buy only brand new games.

Quoted from Syco54645:

No they are not. There are screws that adjust the height of the visor. There is no way they can be fine if the visor is sitting too high. Lower the visor and lift the playfield and adjust the screws. You will be able to see it moving up and down. I thought there was only one but there may be too. If memory serves it is on the bottom of the assembly.

I had this exact problem on a pinbot. The screws are aligned correctly but it won't fall/settle that last little bit. As described in his response that seems to be the issue - he can push it down with his finger and it settles where it should.

I honestly don't remember how or if I fixed it, this might have been 15 years ago. I'd start by cleaning everything, to make sure no schmutz/dirt is making the visor stick above the playfield. Anywhere there's plastic on plastic/metal contact, make sure it's nice and clean.

beyond that make sure everything is aligned correctly. May have to take the mech apart.

Can you guys be a little more specific where this bushing goes? Mark up a photo maybe?
