So I had my Mirco AFM and my IPB TAF playfields on the wall. They have been perfectly fine and flat against the wall. Not sure what drew my eye to them but I looked at my playfields tonight and something didn't seem right. Both my AFM and TAF playfields have bowed! The TAF is extremely minor but the AFM has some major bowing going on. If I put the AFM on my concrete floor (which is the flattest place I know) and put some weight on top of the AFM playfield it flattens out.
I had post rubber inserted into two of the holes at the top of each playfield with a screw going through that into the wall, so the playfields were not anchored to the wall, you could pick up the bottom of the playfield at they would move around.
I think I am going to have to make some wood stiffeners for these playfields. The last thing I want is for them to get destroyed. I have read that the bowing isn't too big of a deal but its still scary regardless.

BTW I did not leave the playfield on the concrete floor, its on my carpet right now.
