Quoted from Whysnow:went through cutting, printing, clear coating, prepopulation, population, being put in a game, and play testing... all with likely multiple QC steps alomg the way. stern at multiple steps decided to let this thing continue on down the line
At least a dozen professionals who work with playfields every day looked at it during the process and decided it was acceptable.
Some pinsiders think it's a horrible defect.
Whose opinion should you trust and why?
Quoted from Whysnow:the people that spend 5k+ and actually care about the end product.
Every person on the line cares about the end product. It's their livelihood.
Quoted from Whysnow:why would you ever trust the company willing to put shit like this out the door and call it good.
Because it's a cosmetic issue that's almost never even seen. It doesn't affect play. A dozen or more professionals that assemble pinball machines daily saw it and didn't reject it.
HEP, one of the most respected restorers in pinball looked at it and is unconcerned.
Chris Hibler, one of the top techs in pinball, is also unconcerned.
I trust those opinions more than others I've read here. If it were my game I would not be concerned.
Quoted from darcangeloel:On the base of the bulb it says stern so I assume they make them.
More likely their supplier rebrands them for Stern. It wouldn't make sense for Stern to set up an LED factory just to make their own bulbs.
