Do I sand down playfield to remove rise in wood around posts?
Hey Folks,
I have a 1961 Gottlieb Foto Finish I am attempting to repair.
Overall, the playfield is in pretty decent shape, considering age.
However, the wood around the playfield posts, is warped. It is as if the posts/screws being in the wood for all these years has created enough tension over time to make little hills, in my otherwise flat playfield.
What do I do?
Is this something I should sand down, at the risk of sanding into good art around the bumps? Or do I let it be, and ignore the bumps...it's not like the ball rolls over them, affecting play...I'm torn in how to proceed.
Is there some way to sand them down, while messing up as little additional surface as possible?
Thanks for the tips all!
