Information gathered from a person who is in the loop with the seller has told me that the playfield looks even worse in person. In the sellers homeland in Europe, is workers apparently clear coated it in really low temperatures which prolonged the curing time and clouded the entire Playfield giving it its matte appearance. Of course the seller has tried to buff it up but to no avail. His workers even tried high speed machine buffing but still no good. Would need to be stripped back and done again. Either that or live with it. Apparently the play is affected as it is not smooth.

Hmm.. The auction desc-ription specifies "You can leave it as is or needs to be well polished for the mirror finish.".

They they tried to buff it and it didn't work, so the new owner won't be able to improve the shine to this playfield. It is also missing the plastic above the LHS drop target bank. Starting the auction at 99 cents was the right thing to do, but the desc-ription needed to specify that the playfield has to be left "as is", or stripped again for a professional clear. The missing plastic should be noted.
