The playfield wood around the Wolverine magnet insert is chewed up, with a raised lip where balls strike it.
Wood worn away around the Wolverine magnet: fill it and fit flat magnet cores
Cause: Ball impacts around the magnet; on this game the old magnet core plugs had also mushroomed and needed replacing as part of the repair.
Checks
- Look at the magnet core plug face: a domed or flared head instead of a flat one means it has mushroomed.
Fix
- Fill and level the damaged wood with a strong filler.
- Replace the magnet cores with new flat-head core plugs (not the cupped style).
- Optionally cover the repaired area with a clear protector or a matching decal.
