Quoted from mbaumle:I'm going to have to agree with Mr. ForceFlow on this one, OP. That playfield looks pretty dang good, in my opinion. I'd much rather have a slightly worn original than a flawless knockoff any day. Clean it, wax it, judiciously apply mylar to protect it, and call it a day.
But, it's your game, and you can do as you wish.
I completely agree. That's just how 80% of 35 year old pinballs look. Get over it, put it back together, and play.
