Image # 23868: Mystic Early Production Plastic And Modification 
(The upper plastic in this image was used early in production. The lower, larger plastic was later substituted to prevent the captive ball from falling out of its channel when the playfield was fully raised, or from flying out of the channel if hitting the target too hard from the ball in play. Both plastics have the same part number.)
