I shopped/restored my Scared Stiff and have been playing the heck out of it, along with 4 little kids. Tonight I notice this. Been playing the game for about 3 weeks now. Is this a normal amount of wear for the time period?

The balls are new, ultra shiny.

Quoted from Matt_Rasmussen:

Are there subways in that game, are they clean too?

A small one. Removed and cleaned it.

Quoted from Tommi_Gunn:

Damn thats a dirty game. You shopped it? []

Honest. Playfield mostly stripped. Novus 2, Novus 1, then carnuba paste wax. I do live in a dusty environment on the Colorado plains. The glass gets dusty every 24 hrs. Maybe some filters in over a couple weeks. Have only had rain about 3x all summer. Remember the fires? Now there is fine grit on the playfield. I guess I need to wipe it down more frequently.

Fortunately, I do have spare rubbers and have rotated these red ones in the photo. Rubbers were purchased from "The Pin Guys". Is there any way to make the glass fit tighter?

It does seem a lot of shots want to go down the middle. So there's a lot of "just barely" saves and nudging needed to to stop from loosing the ball. Either that or I'm just a bad player!
