That is not a bad looking playfield. But if you remove the Mylar it might be. You never know how much paint will come up with a System-11. Aftermarket Mylar comes up easy, but I will bet that is factory. And you "will" be needing the insert decals afterwards.

Quoted from Niterider:

Even when using the freeze method? I pulled the Mylar off my TZ a few years ago and it came right up. The glue was a different story.
Pulling the Mylar up does worry me, but I'm not sure if its the factory Mylar. Unless the factory Mylar really did come in three different pieces.

A while back I bought a Swords of Fury project off of Doug Huse (same generation as EatPM). When picking it up I mentioned I might remove the Mylar, he has told me flat out "don't". He said this was factory and even if it was bubbling I would take a lot of paint with it. And I trust his opinion.

I took aftermarket off of a High Speed and ever though it came up easy it took paint from around any inserts that had shifted in the slightest. I've seen other High Speed Mylar removals that were disasters.

I would not assume System-11 games and Twilight Zone are going to be similar experiences. I'm sure we will hear some stories both ways.
