Question is below 
So I tore down a Hyperball playfield the other day. This was a game that was played HARD, and then the playfield was stored in a barn. it was absolutely filthy, and had stuff all over it. I cleaned it up, and when I disassembled it, it looked like this (sorry for the blurry pics):
And after some windex, Novus3, Novus 2, and novus 1, this is what I got:
SO I was wondering.....Why did they not keep the plastic playfields in pinball machines. Everything is screened from the bottom, the art does not wear out, the plastic (at least in the case of ALL the Hyperball machines I have seen) is incredibly durable.
Just pondering why this did not become an industry standard. I would have to think it would be cheaper (but I could be wrong).
