Love my pro. The cabinet issues seems to only apply to a small group of machines. I did get one of those machines affected but Stern always makes things right so nothing to really worry about.

Pro is awesome. can't go wrong!

The Pro model is awesome and a blast to play. I love mine.

Zero issues so far. Pro is very fun to play. Love mine as well.

Depends on who you ask. Most of us that own an Aerosmith really like it and have had very few issues. Other then the GB playfield issues that can be said about almost every game released though. If you listen to the peanut gallery you would believe that stern has found a way to make pinball machines so cheap that the cabinets fall apart, the playfields will spontaneously ghost every insert at any moment, the parts are so cheap stern has $50 invested in each game, and most importantly the code will never be good enough. They will also say that AS owners won't say anything negative because we are protecting our investment.

I'm just having fun playing the game. Mine is an LE and I had to make one minor adjustment out of the box.

Aerosmith is a fun game to play for sure, but this is reality for way more people than it should be...nothing make believe about it. I've seen multiple copies of every NIB game come and go over the last 6 years and I have never seen anything like this, especially after only 2 months. I don't know what the problem is or if it has been fixed, but for something like this to happen to the cabinets at the frequency it was happening, there definitely is/was an issue.

My AS Pro was built March 31st....not a single issue with it. The left outlane pisses me off but I just need to play better

That sir is very concerning. Any word on if stern is doing anything about this for you? Feel bad for you man.

I have around 1700 plays on my Aerosmith Pro and have only had a few issues:

--wireform at lock saucer kept falling off because the form was too short, Stern supplied a revised version under warranty. I did have to rework that wireform as it was getting stuck between the ramp and the bracket.
--right flipper coil stop failed(typical metal shavings in bottom of cabinet) and was replaced under warranty
--a couple of stuck ball locations, not unusual

All in all, it is holding up well, other than a slight split in cabinet body at the front corners.

It isn't my game, it is my friend's game. I don't know if he has said anything to his distributor about it or not. I just took a picture and posted about it in the "Sterns New Cabinets" thread because lots of other people were having the same problem with the cabinet splitting and they were trying to figure out how widespread the issue was.
