I'm not sure about that. As these games get played more, I'm guessing we'll see more and more playfield problems. My game is not one of the very early ones (it has 7.5V light boards), but the clearcoat is very brittle, and it shows chipping around screwholes, the castle VUK, the throne room, etc. I have a cliffy on the throne room, and I've still had chunks of clear coming off. Thankfully, no artwork yet. I also have mylar over the drop target and state fair areas, and the forest will be getting it soon. I might have 1000 plays on it max. I'm guessing closer to 500.

Mine is definitely not thin. If anything, it is the thickest clear on any of my games, including my TZ restored by Captain Neo.

What would you like to see in pics? How the clear rolls into holes? The edge of the playfield? Sorry I'm not exactly understanding.

Agreed. I was just comparing mine to Taylor's.

Mine is thicker.

I nitpicked my inserts this evening, and they are nothing but smooth. I didn't even bother trying to photograph any transitions.

Here's a photo of the chipping on my throne room, though. This is after 477 plays.
