Quoted from Who-Dey:I just wonder if these new games playfields will last as long as the old games. I would think that they should because they have clear coat on them and if I'm not mistaken, the old EM games had no clear coat right? I've seen EM's with 50-60k plays on them and they still look good.
Keep in mind that most EMs don't have nearly the ball action and speed a modern game does.
Wear is exponentially increased on modern games with shots that get a lot of action and have minimal area to absorb the impact. The pics of the drop target area on this game tell the story.
That being said the OP's game is holding up extremely well.
