I am doing the same thing. Mine has wear in the exact same spot as yours. I bought the NOS playfield from PBR and it looked great. I already clear coated it and it is ready to swap. Haven't started yet but I am looking forward to it. I have done several full restores but I have never done a playfield swap. I think it's a fun game that gets panned because nobody liked the movie. But hey, I liked the movie too.
