Title: FS: NOS 1994 Guns N' Roses Pinball playfield
Post by: T-Bone on January 19, 2015, 06:33:26 PM
Original New Old Stock playfield for the 1994 GNR pinball machine. I had the playfield in mine restored, so this one's just been wall art, and since so many of the playfields in GNR machines are absolutely worn-out (usually at the Axl scoop and across the center logo) I figure it's better served by going to a new home.

Never installed in a machine, playfield is absolutely gorgeous. It is mylar-free, and has been professionally clearcoated. The clear shows some very fine micro-swirls from 20 years of storage - you would want to polish the surface before populating it, and with regular cleaning and waxing the clearcoat will keep it looking as-new forever.

If you are going to install it into a machine, it will need to be drilled and dimpled (a professional playfield restorer is recommend for that - I can provide contact details for several that I recommend) and there are three items on the playfield that I would have them address if you do go that route: There are two tiny brown specks in the artwork of the center logo near the G insert (see pic) that could be removed; there is a tiny 'dip' in the clearcoat at the end of the 'Slash' insert (see pic), and the Skull insert above the 'Slash' insert and the 'Rose Millions' insert (again, see pic) could use the black keyline around their edges re-lined.  That's all stuff that a professional restorer would do in the course of 'perfecting' a playfield.

These don't escape the pinball community too often, if at all (it's been several years since I've seen a NOS GNR PF available) so I figured I'd offer it to the GNR collector community first.

A few pics linked below - let me know if any questions.
