My biggest preve is buying a pin and discovering/believing a part or item is missing. I mean engineered missing, not just removed by a previous owner. An example is my Maverick. Near the flippers, the lane g.i. On both sides there is one bulb and then space for another bulb. There is even holes in the plastic lane for the bulb and a circle on the playfield for the location of it, just no hole was drilled. Drives me crazy evry time I look at it. I have other examples too but you get what I am saying I hope.

I guess Stern is not the only company that did/does cost cutting. Data East/Sega did it too.

Drama mongers too!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I hear you bud...still does not make it right? Let's use your explanation:

Electrical Engineer to boss---"Boss, have a situation on Maverick. Bulb circuit is maxxed out.
EE boss--- Ok. Delete one Rh and one Lh at the lane guides. I'll notify the other departments.
Playfield cnc dept boss---Ok, no problem. I just won't drill the hole.
Playfield template/stencil boss--- Ok, but it will cost more to redo the ink layiut to remove the circle in those two areas. Guess I will just leave it.
Playfield plastics boss---Hmmmm, well I already ordered 5,000 lanes and shipping received them. Why do you guys always tell me after components are sourced. We can't eat 5k lane plastics. Letls hope most consumers don't notice the boo boo. Sure more than likely that one Michigan guy will notice, he is a very sharp person, ....let's hope it gets by the rest though!

Lol

Yeah...it is not even funny!!!! Somehow, during a trade, their pin is magically worth $750 above market and your pin is $750 below market. I am dealing with an idiot trying to do this to me right now in email. I think I am going to end the communication because I am ticked off and this is not going anywhere.

Working on my pin. Then put it all back together and get ready to start a game. Then notice screwdriver under PF glass on ramp...ugh! Open it up, take tool out. Put back together and get ready to play. Then notice needle nose pliers by flipper...ugh! I am terrible at clean up!
