Hi!
I left the playfield standing upright with all the stuff assembled for a long time. Over the time the weight of the top part has warped the upper part of the playfield. How could I straighten the playfield?
Should the playfield flatten out over time if I put it back on the box completely assembled?
I really appreciate any piece of advice.

In this picture I've drawn a straight line so that you can see the warped playfield.

I've put the playfield on the floor supported by the four cornes and with some books on it to see if it works out the problem.

Thank you for your replies.
So first thing I must do is to replace the side rails with a pair of new ones. I'll see if I can find a carpenter nearby to get white oak wood. Could I use whitewood instead? It's much easier to find that kind of wood.

After eight hours with the books on the playfield this is the result.

Thanks Taylor for your offer. Your rails are perfect. I'd buy them from you if it weren't for I live in Europe and the shipping is too high.

I´ll get them made by a carpenter. However, I will transfer the holes using the old set. I'll use a driller.
Thank you for your piece of advice.

Hi. Finally I didn't get the new rails but the playfield straightened itself out when I put it back in the game. Now the playfield is almost flat. I need new rails though.
