    Please post a picture? With a vintage machine, seems like the playfield could be reinforced.

    With a modern machine, there are a lot of electronics in the way.

    to Pachitalk!

    I've never experienced a badly warped playfield on a machine. Once you take them off for a background replacement they do tend to have a slight arch in the middle (like 1/8" or less). But once you put them back together with screws instead of the posi-drive nails it flattens back out. Though you may have a different case possibly.

    Pictures would greatly help. (pictures must be 2MB or smaller in size to upload)

    Hmm.... I've never noticed an arch in that direction. Then again I've never really checked.

    But as long as the back mechanics are still working properly I don't see why it would be an issue.

    You can't upload videos directly to PT, you need to upload it somewhere else and provide a link..Most people use YouTube so everyone can see it.. You can post a Facebook link, but some people may not be able to access it..

    Looks pretty normal to me.
