Quoted from Claster:Sigh. So, curses on the idiot who made such an inept repair, and even more curses on the crook who sold me the machine without disclosing this to me. I guess I could use some plastic wood to smooth over those screw heads, and a little paint to make it look close to what it should.
Damn.
It sucks, but don't beat yourself up. With everything happening on a playfield, things sometimes get missed. It's even possible the previous owner did not know either. It's just a lesson learned, but as others said, I wouldn't get too crazy altering anything as it might look worse. Personally, I would paint the head of the screws so they don't stand out and then put mylar over them.
