Wanted Old used playfields, anything considered

[cooldan]

Hi guys,
I'm looking for old playfields to light up and stick on the walls. Anything with holes in it, preferably also some inserts. Nothing valuable or rare or NOS, save them for someone who wants to put them in a game.

With as little attached stuff top and bottom as possible - I can remove staples and T-nuts, and I can bang through those long ones that hold the bumpers on (though sometimes that flakes a bit of playfield art/coating off) but hopefully no more than that.

What have you got lying around? Pictures and prices please. Even better if you're coming to Swavesey. Also good if you're coming to Pinfest as I can get a local pal to grab them for me there.

Many thanks

Thanks but i'm looking for cheap, and unpopulated.
there's nothing tempting me on there, but i bet loads of forum members have plenty standing around gathering dust?

That looks fantastic dude, coin op king has a couple of older bare playfields sub £100, not great nick tho. Free play SE has some of the old Heighway NOS playfields, but not cheap (300 ish)

Seeing as you enjoyed the making process, if you don't have any joy finding used ones, have you considered making one? its kinda time consuming but not too difficult, have some decent scans I could send ya.

Making a playfield?
nope, that's beyond my skillset and interests, i'm no woodworker and don't have the tools or the knowhow.
