After about 7000 plays in six months, the playfield magnet on my work's Star Trek has started to form a kind of sloping "lip" which is contributing to balls getting stuck up there. I had a Cliffy protector there and tried to keep it as flush as possible, but here we are. Is this threaded core considered a disposable part that I just have to replace every six months?

Yeah, a bench grinder isn't a terrible idea. Once I get it flat, is there anything I can be doing to stop it from happening again, or is that just the way it goes?

Quoted from Eskaybee:

7000 plays X $.75/play

Free play mode at work, unfortunately.

While we're on the subject, the Cliffy magnet protector has come off. What kind of adhesive is the best for re-attaching it?
