I think this may have been covered before, but has anyone encountered a playfield being warped/bowing slightly after being stored for years? I'm guessing thats not natural, but is this something that's fixable so the playfield can still be used?
I did some measuring and the curve appears to be under 3/8 of an inch....so I guess not much? Hopefully once side rails get screwed on and some of the weight gets put on from things it will even out a bit...the curve is pretty much dead center of the PF
If you have time (took a month or so) ...and depending of where or how big bow is
In a Small room I have laid PF flat face side down with a slight even (protected) shim to each side or where needed to reverse bow and every day i would go in with a spray bottle on mist and give a few squirts to raise humidity in room. Every few days i would also take shims out and and just lay flat and keep alternating this till it was flat.
It has been a year since i have done and PF is still flat out of game.
