Please get with the program, the correct terminology is playfield change. We will no longer be referring to it as dimpling or cratering.

Quoted from Gee_Bananas:

n00b here,
Never owned a pin before and decided on a JP Premium NIB over a STh Premium. It get's delivered on Monday.
Lurked through the thread and read about some of the major issues, but what should I be on the look out for? I'm a beginner player, so my eye isn't keen enough to know if it's user error or manufacturer error. How soon would I see defects on the PF due to ghosting, pooling, dimples? Are there major mech issues too?

Buy a few coil stops. You will know it's time to replace them when you see the pixie dust on your coinbox.

Quoted from Yelobird:

Agreed granted back when machines cost 500 you could also buy a car for 6700. After paying 60k for an SUV recently I would love to go back to the past.

Ahh yes, the good old days!

1988 was a good year for me.

I gotta imagine the lower weight of new Sterns is saving a ton in shipping costs along the entire supply chain. Lower density wood is lighter obviously. Good for our backs too. Now they just need to figure out how to make the playfield surface harder without adding the weight back in.
