Is it possible? Was going to restore old playfield but no point in proceeding if the playfield is warped. It played great when it was installed so not sure if the trim was keeping it straight.

Quoted from vid1900:
You should keep the rails on a playfield so it does NOT warp when not in use.

The rails were swapped to a new playfield but I suppose I could make new once from stronger wood. Thanks.

Quoted from pintechev:
Most playfields will straighten up when rails are installed and the weight of the components pull on it.

Thanks. I did not factor that into my thoughts. Alot of weight coming down on that huh?
Now ..is a warped playfield common? I would like to restore it and sell it.
