Toss 'em and put in new ones.
Once they start getting banged up and rusty, they will wear down the playfield.

Quoted from Alan_L:I remember a thread on the RGP years ago started by a guy who had dozens of old pinballs and wanted to know what to do with them. The answers were pretty much like the above so he reposted that he had chucked them all in the trash.
THAT brought a huge response, "No, don't throw them away! Bad karma! Bad juju!" was the common reply. In essence, you can't use 'em, but you can't throw them away. There was so much heat that the guy posted again that he had gone back out to the trash can, dug them out and brought them back inside. At least that's as clear as I can remember it.
I usually toss all my useless/broken metal parts, legs, and coils in a box, and make a trip to the scrap yard every once in a while. At the very least, they get recycled instead of ending up in a landfill.
