<div dir="auto">Hi Steve,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">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.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Rich</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Dec 11, 2025, 8:43 AM Steve Peck via FSPA <<a href="mailto:fspa@fspazone.org">fspa@fspazone.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hey guys,<br><br></div>i'm curious if all the paint cracking on this meteor tells me anything about the game - i.e. does this mean it was in some kind of climate it shouldn't have been, or it was wet at some point, or anything like that - and is this going to start chipping on me etc?<br><br><img src="cid:ii_mj0e63ip0" alt="594977912_1777413766979869_6519121113232390800_n.jpg" style="margin-right:25px"><br><br></div>
