GREAT info. Answers a heap of questions . I still don't know if it's mylar or contact on the Galaxy, but all in good shape and i aint gonna touch it to find out cause the playfield is in really good shape hope it stays that way, then again it isn't at the fisho' around the corner, if it lasted this long already, should be fine, we'll wait and see anyway.

But, Galaxy aside, I mainly asked this question for future purchases, i see machines with a cut line of mylar or contact around playfields, and think of the worst thing that could happen, kind of throws me off.

 Hope others got something out of this as well.
