Quoted from kermit24:if you shine a super bright light and take photos of any playfield as a specific angle, you will see dimples you didn't know existed. Hard to say if these are within the "normal" range or not. The magnet dimpling is strange....
There are no super bright lights here. This is the game lighting period. No flash. You can see the reflection of the back glass in many of the pics. I have two other games (Addams and BDK) and either playfield even remotely resembles this.
Quoted from taz:Hey Texasff78, could you share some info with us for some analysis? LE #, date received, distributor, game location. Also, any manufacture dates or marks on the game/pkayfield? Maybe we can compare our games and find other games in the same batch, or some other common denominator.
I purchased the game from Pinball Alley in Rochester, New York. Playfield manufacturing date was 12/2/2016. Mine is LE 38 Interdigital Batsorter. I am located in Texas and the game is home use only. I got the game on January 3rd. The sticker below is on the playfield.
Appreciate all the comments and advice on my playfield. I am not in the Stern hater category or on the fanboy side either. I've always enjoyed pinball and excited my son wants to play now. I feel that Stern will do something to make it right. Certainly don't feel like the playfield issues we are seeing are something that Stern cannot eventually correct. With so many games going home use only now they are going to have to sort out these playfield issues quickly. Spending a little more upfront on higher quality wood, finish, and parts will be cheaper in the long run for the company. Spending 10k plus I expect a machine that will hold up. It is a new game and I expect for there to be issues. My playfield is just way outside the norm from other games I've seen after such a short period. The clear chipping in the shooter lane worries me just as much as the dimpling. Hell I am still far from giving up on the game and feel like it has a lot of potential. Yes it's clunky at times right now. The theme and artwork are awesome for someone who is a fan of the show like we are. Love the screen and the topper (they are still trying to get another one shipped since they mailed the first one to the wrong location). Bottom line just sharing my issues and not trying to start a war over the game.
I believe my topper post is the one you are referring to. I would be interested in the same price range. The node board that drives the topper would have to be included at that price. You guys may be right that no one will part with theirs. I do know that a couple of people on the boards have lucked out and gotten a topper from someone who didn’t have space for it in their game room or were just willing to sell it. Just added the SLE decals to my game today and want to finish it out with the trim, topper, and as many other parts as I can find.

Quoted from PinMonk:What's the point of having a fake SLE if you can't run SLE code (including the eventual SLE-specific topper code)? I believe that identity is coming from the system board that is flashed at the factory. It definitely "knows" it's supposed to be an SLE. Not sure how you can finish your project out with that hurdle.
I like the look of the game significantly more for starters. If the primary difference in the end is the SLE topper code I can definitely live with that for 5-8k less than the SLE price. And I wouldn’t eliminate the possibility of using the code either. Usually where there is a will there is a way.
I completely agree that’s it is going to be hard to find people willing to give up the topper. But at some price point screwdrivers and bubble wrap would start coming out. 1500 range is pretty much my max right now.
Quoted from ASOA:Kind of sounds like a bidding war. Very discreet bid of 1,500 I like it.
Hahaha no I said range. But since you’re playfully calling me out I’ll go with “I posted first!” All kidding aside not life and death here and if you get it first I will keep looking. Hope we both find one.
