How should I store a populated playfield?

[Mfresh]

Just wondering what the best way to store a fully populated playfield is.

At the moment it is standing on end, leaning against a wall. But I was wondering if this is likely to make it warp. Would it be better to store it held in a playfield rotisserie? Or would that make it bow? Or perhaps stored flat on a blanket on a spare mattress?

Any thoughts? I don't want to come back to it in three months and find it ruined....

Youd assume vertical, but then again they spend most of their life flat on their back.

Vertical can't be any worse then how it lays in a machine only supported like 20% from the back and right at the front.

Three months....I think it will survive How many games tombstoned for years suffer warped playfields ?

To be safe just store playfields with playfield rails attached, stops them twisting and warping. I’ve had a couple NOS playfields stored stood up for years with rails attached and they are still flat as a pancake!

It will be fine stored like that. Don't worry.

OK, thanks for the replies everyone! Sounds like I can leave it leaning against the wall
