Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

It's on the right orbit and at the top of both slings. I just sent them another email. I started asking for help back in August of 2019 about 60 days after it was delivered and I noticed things falling apart.

Looks like same problems that Deadpool guide has. A simple little washer under that guide would have prevented all that damage.

Quoted from Fytr:

My stated policy has been no NIB purchases going forward, I'd always strive to find a game I could lay eyes on before purchase...
So... I just picked up a DP Pro, NIB, but took the extreme step of paying my distro (who is 1000kms away from me) to unbox and setup the game and send me high quality pics of the playfield prior to sending me the game, just so I could eliminate the risk of at least some of the issues on my game (mis-printed art, clearcoat pooling, extreme unevenness of clear coat finish, extreme insert crazing, etc).
To be completely honest, I'm still not thrilled with the level of insert crazing and the overall smoothness of clearcoat for this price, but it still looks good, and it was that or no Deadpool (couldn't find a nice used one), so I sucked it up, no regrets so far, but entirely sad that I have to pay someone to make sure my new Stern isn't completely defective out of the box.
(EDIT->I've had 3 previous NIB Sterns over the last 4 years that all had defective playfields of one variety or another).

Pull that metal guide off in the center before playing a game and get some washers between the studs and the guide, so it doesn't cut into the playfield.
