Picked up a Top Card, overall good condition. But the left flipper rubber melted onto the playfield. Anyone have experience removing...should I use heat or chemicals (alcohol, goof off, naptha, etc)? Any experience?

Thanks Pinhead52! Did it this weekend and it came off. sadly still left a red stain, but the rest of the playfield is awesome so I can live with that.

Will have to try the magic eraser trick and see if that gets the remaining red spot off

Well, I took a little alcohol and ME to it and got the red tint out. Tried not to go too crazy. Either way you can tell something happened there. Looks good enough for me after novus and wax. Thanks for everyone's help. Before and after below....

Yeah P2k/Alan. Folks I got it from said they pulled it off a carport. I expect the sun hit the glass at that spot for decent amount of time and caused the melt. Luckily it was not out there long enough to do any other major damage. Definitely the best playfield i have.
