[FSPA] meteor paint condition

[Rich Wickersham]

Hi Steve,

I have owned more than one Meteor and they all had similar wear on the play
field and cracking of the clear.  This is normal and expected.  The best
option to preserve it is to put a play field protector on it.  In home use
my preference is to keep it waxed and potentially spot clear problem
areas.   The wear around inserts could be from sunken or cupped inserts as
well.  I have used epoxy on those areas to reglue and even to fill in and
level a sunken insert.   The game looks good for that era.
