Quoted from mark532011:

The playfield is essentially complete! I say essentially because the ring kit I purchased came with a 4.5" ring instead of the 5" ring that table specifies. I've got a 5" ring on order, also some blue LED's to experiment and see how it looks.

.
Right now I have 2 issues:
Problem (1) there is something strange that I can't find the source of but the table does not look square. You can see it by looking at the wood back piece, it looks lower on the left side than the right and I don't think it is an optical illusion (red circle)[quoted image]
.
Problem (2) While none of the plastics are actually broken, and to be honest, they are in pretty good shape, they are seriously warped, so my next test is to try and straighten them without melting them![quoted image][quoted image]

Here's what worked for me on my space shuttle, that had Plastics as bad as the ones in your photo. . Place in a toaster oven at 225 degrees for 3 minutes on a Piece of parchment paper. Remove and place between two sheets of parchment paper in large book. Close book, stack a few more books on for good measure. Let them set up overnight,next morning perfectly flat.
