Here is a picture of my scoop. I removed the “bad” protector after 79 plays, destroyed.
Immediately I placed Mylar down on all 3 exposed edges.
In the picture, I have just removed the left side Mylar to replace, as it was t sticking inside the scoop and made a flap of sorts. The right side has dust covering the line, I’m pretty sure the line is still there, it just looks like it’s fading.
Anyway, I can’t wait for the fork to get sent out, I will probably just put it down with nothing else, see how it goes.
I also had about half of the screws holding the flipper plate to the playfield come out, causing the plate to drop and the flipper to drag on the PF, fortunately I caught it early and was able to wax over the drag wear leaving it unnoticeable, close call for me and I would keep an eye on those screws, several were stripped out of the wood and needed a fix (Q-tip shaft) to get tight.
This is after 1500 plays….
