    So playfields are overwhelmingly made from plywood - would there be a benefit to making 5 or 6-ply surfaces from plastic? It sounds like we are making assumptions about a solid sheet of whatever material. What about thin layers epoxied together to be a bit lighter?

    Quoted from ultimategameroom:

    Vid I don’t own any JJP pins and never heard of the “installed at the factory” option before.
    what’s the feedback been as far as pros/cons?

    They just put it on for you, saves you maybe half an hour. I believe the price is about the same as buying one direct
