so over the last 2weeks or so i've been shopping and doing some work on my Sharkeys. the playfield is in great shape. with the exception of 2 areas;

1. above the left pop bumper there was serious wear down to the wood
2. for some reason stern had 2 rollover lanes setup for the 8 ball shot, when only 1 was used/required. basically the first one before the real lane was all chewed up.

heres some before and after pics. they are both flush with the field now, sealed with 3-5 coates of poly, and gameplay will be 100% (i'm not playing the machine for a week just to be sure on the poly cure)

be kind. i'm pretty happy, a portion of the web may be missing now, and i had to get into the blue a little with the black on the pop bumper (like 1/4 inch).
