I laid the cabinet on it`s face and was able to pull the entire playfield out easily through the bottom of the cabinet. The playfield appears very faded from age. Either that or it`s coated with something. I clean a ton of dirt from it with Windex. The playfield is very brittle and cracks easily. The staples used to attach it all were loose so I carefully drilled tiny holes and tacked it back down. * Updated: It has been confirmed by another Sea Raider owner that the periscope mirror is supposed to have some black paint on it. It`s assumed the reason has to to with some effect. This explains why the periscope assembly is slightly offset. Unfortunately the siting indicator will be off with the paint removed although you will get greater visibility. I opted to not re-install the site indicator.
