Quoted from Zdoor:

Some progress pics. Still playing with the striping and messing around with the coin door. Wanted something different. Getting there.
Still need to finish speaker lighting and playing round with options to put a toy near shooter lane. I wasn't a huge fan of the additional batmobile there. Seemed odd to have two batmobiles on the playfield, might light the bat cycle and add that there. played around with some custom painted text to match the text on the side cab. Not sure I'll leave that. Added some art to the legs also. Still debatunthat one too...

I have not purchased a NIB machine since my STLE . I noticed on that title a few inserts had minor " Crazying" not sure if I am using the right term . On the clear inserts it is very noticeable line or tiny pinpoint bubbles that appear from under/through insert. I noticed it on JJp The Hobbit as well on every insert . And on GB . These are all location pinball machines but not that old . I have 20 year old B/W like my ST:TNG that have a little " Crazing " but not as bad as these newer Titles . I am debating a purchase of a NIB STERN maybe Batman 66 , Hobbit , STERN SW this issue has me spooked. I took a photo of Batman 66 most of the inserts had lots of " Crazying " not sure I capture it in photo . JJP Hobbit bad as well. What the owner/players of Batman 66 LE or SLE noticed in this regard . I find it unsettling. My Avengers LE has the most plays of my newer STERN and it has no " Crazing " I know its pinball and stuff happens but when I opened my NIB StarTrek LE and saw the minor insert "Crazing" it pissed me off . It seems to have gotten worse on titles since 2013 . I would loose my mind if I bought a JJP Hobbit NIB or Batman 66 and saw this as I witness yesterday on the said machine at this location. Or is the new norm. I am sure it is possibly a crap shoot . I will add that the fact that these titles now use mostly clear / clear colored inserts with no art covering them my make this issue more noticeable . Thank you .

Quoted from thundergod76:

Crazing doesn't bother me at all. Now ghosting, that's not acceptable IMO. If you do decide to buy a NIB BM66 please wait until after the next major (hopefully) code update. That way Stern will see proof that code support really does matter to its customers.

I am glad you have the Batman 66 machine . Great . But you did not really answer my question . (Does your machine have a " Crazing" issue ????) I do agree Ghosting on any machine New or old sucks as the insert will chip away at some point .

Quoted from thundergod76:

No crazing so far on my BM66. However I do have a playfield protector on. Only crazed insert on my KISS is the arrow on the top of the shooter lane where the ball could drop during a soft plunge. Really seems to be a crap shoot with NIB purchases regardless of the manufacturer. Sucks I know considering what these things are costing.

Thank you. Do you have to take all the stuff off the Batman 66 to put on the playfield protector ? I'm not skilled enough . #2 Where or whom did you purchase your Batman 66 Playfield protector from I would like to look at there products . Thanks a million.

Quoted from MK6PIN:

A reminder for all Batfans.....do a periodic check on all your screws in the turntable assembly. I was surprised tonight by my bat computer coming off the plastic. Forgot to hit those with locktite on original go around...tiny screws, major pita to find once they drop below.
All is now well in my Batworld, but figured I'd pass it on...that area gets thrashed pretty good and lots of cool stuff in there......

Thank you . Do you have a Shaker Motor installed ? Also did you Blue locktite or Red ? This machine is really sounding fun .
