Holy Crap! Imagine the deep burnt trench it left under the PF as the magnet cooked. Could have fried eggs on that one

Yeah Gav . The PF would definitely not be the only thing that suffered . That much heat to do that to the PF surely would have melted wires / connectors and god knows what else underneath . Looking at that mark the PF must have been very close to being in flames . Funny thing is if you read in the description they actually clear-coated over the top of that burn mark to stop it getting any worse (if that's possible) .. Why would you bother ??  !@#

Worst magnet burn that I have seen for a while, I have seen worse but that damage has totaly trashed the playfield. New playfield required I think.

That is so sad to see - and to think it could have been prevented withe a fuse kit.

Apparently according to the ad one of the magnets is trashed and the fuse's to the other two aren't working. I wonder why. Like you say Nino for such a little out lay on a magnet fuse kit all this damage could have been prevented.
