For now. Give it time. My 9 months old potc just started showing the pooling around certain posts.

Why would you buy new?

But you said “buy with confidence” from your sample size of one. Before you’ve got any significant number of plays. I just personally wouldn’t give buying advice based off that. People won’t know this is solved for months. If you absolutely can’t wait and don’t mind imperfections, buy with confidence. Otherwise, buy used. And play numbers have almost flipped on their head in terms of pricing. I wouldn’t buy anything with less than 300 plays!

Not to mention the stock some distributors might have could easily still be from the defect era.

I suspect you’re just being witty and I shouldn’t take the bait. But you must realize my jjpotc probably looked just the same as your WonkaCE on the showroom floor. Now it has pooling. Months later. So you have a sample size of three with a total of a few plays between them. What can that really tell people about other pins for sale right now?

Look, I love JJP and want the best for them. And I really hope your machine remains flawless. I really do. I just think you’re misleading people with the “buy with confidence” thing. Nobody should have confidence at this point. Either in the product or the manufacturer.

This is why I roll my eyes every time someone comes on here and says, “my new ___ pin with born on date ___ is perfect!! Buy with confidence! They’ve solved it!”

It’s like antivaxers that say “I never got mumps so vaccines are unnecessary!”

You can’t extrapolate like that!

I’m putting my flame suit on, but I’m helping fix up a Star Wars home pin (it’s actually awesome, btw). It has a playfield unlike what I’ve seen before. Looks like particle board? No dimpling or other problems, but it has a slight orange peel texture everywhere. Is this the future of playfields? If not, why not (other than tradition)?

So I am not sure about the particle board diagnosis. It just has that look and texture. Anyone know for sure?

He deserved the eject. Punk

Yes. Him.

Not sure if there’s an “almost” to this. It’s either fixed or not. Every new release there’s a group of people who say “problem solved because mine has no problems”. I don’t think it works that way, but I’m sincerely happy yours is good!

I’m happy to report that I finally got my jjpotc replacement playfield. I had some minor chipping around posts that was actually hidden under the posts that I found while installing cliffys. They covered it and I’m pleased.

Same playfield as the home pin. Mine is holding up pretty well. As good as their current stuff anyway.
