I got a playfield with 3 or 4 damaged screw holes, so damaged that the guy didn't bother to screw something else so I have few post-less spots
What the best way to fix this holes so I can screw back some post... if I feel with epoxy and drill a hole will do? What product do you recommend?
thanks

I would not say it is the "best" method, however, I have used the "toothpick" method with success many times.
Basically, break a toothpick off in the hole, then screw the screw in...It works well IMHO.

quelque chose de rapide et temporaire, casse un cure dent a l'intérieur et revisse ta visse (tout dépend de la grosseur du trou bien sure) et remarque que si ca tient pourquoi pas le laisser comme ca!
*edit*.. ca doit etre un bonne idée 2 meme réponse en meme temps
If you really want the post to be in there solid, soak the toothpicks in carpenters glue before stuffing them into the hole as filler. Screw in the post screw and you won't have an issue with it again.

Wood particles mixed with carpenter's glue. Fill the hole, let dry at least 24 hours and you are set it will be as good as new. The mix should be like a paste.

That's what I do as well, it works great
The toothpick method is good in a pinch, but for a more permanent solution, I'd do the method above.
