TAF playfield damage is normal for a machine that has suffered from continual use. There are three magnets under the playfield in those exact wear areas "Magnet burn".

Just image the ball flying and then the magnet activates, arresting the ball "on the spot" - It tends to wear those areas out.

We are talking about a very popular and "very played " pinball machine !

There were a couple of others who took notes and made a list, but I guess Dave beat us all to putting it up on the web.

I think it was a Pinball Mania machine - so best bet would be to get in touch with them.

It wasn't terrible, but the backglass needed a bit of work.
