Playfield is withdrawn from sale

Putting the playfield away, I noticed that it has a slight bow across the top
The sides are straight, the bottom is straight

But even with a slight bow, only a couple of mm’s, I cannot in good conscience sell it

Might make it into a wall hanging : (

Normal for playfields with fresh clearcoats. As they cure, they bow the playfields. Once the wooden siderails are on, they straighten out ok.

My Evel Knievel has a bow. Fathom a slight bow. IPB KISS has a bow (both). Mirco AFM has a bow.

I have a Star Trek that is dead flat. The other has a significant bow.

I have never noticed it before

I have been checking the long side of the playfields, all have been straight (so far)
it was not until I leaned this up against another playfield that I noticed the bow

I see it as a sign that I will come across a really cheep Captain Fantastic  &&

Pete I have had a few playfields similar.  When the side and top rails go on is fine.  Was only a couple of mm.

Once the timber rails are installed = no problem.
