Quoted from CoolCatPinball:Just put a Mirco in mine a few months back. Beautiful playfield. Glassy smooth. All major holes were of course correct and the dimples were pretty close. Only hiccup I recall was having to use a dremel tool to "deepen" a recessed area on the topside where the long range optos mount. I think that's where it was.... I'm very happy with the quality.

Quoted from Zee:I hope your topcoat does not peel away on that Mirco.
Quoted from mbaumle:My anecdotal experience: My TZ and AFM both have Mirco playfields in them. I do not baby my games. They get played A LOT. They all look as good today as the day they were swapped out. Zero chipping, peeling, or pooling. I like his product…
Aside, BSD is an unusually well built game for the era, ImNotNorm. Where games use painted wooden rails, BSD uses metal. Scoops, ramps, and kicker welds seem to hold up all really well. Just keep an eye out for problems with that long beam opto, and you’ll be fine.
I'm not trying to start a Mirco shit fest here or anything.
The only reason I ask is because of threads I've read on pinside and complaints from some of his customers, etc. Just trying to guage the odds of getting a bad one on a BSD.
Additionally, my BSD has some light planking and that's why I'm asking about a repro or NOS playfield replacement for down the road. (I have new ramps on mine)
I purchased is because it's a tough pin and should keep my competitive wife entertained and frustrated for years to come. It'll only help harness her skills for tournaments and competitions that she loves to participate in. She's very competitive.
So I figured, buy the repro replacement and let it sit for a few years. Play the crap out of this one til it's time for a restoration.
Knowing it's brutal reputation it'll prolly stay bolted to the floor in my game room for a long time.
