Thinking of picking up a GB very soon..... That being said what shipping dates should I be looking for on the box so I can be sure im getting a churchill playfield. Is there anyway I can verify without taking the game out of the box ?

Can you tell me what the shipping date was stamped on the box. I ready to purchase.

Anyone else get one recently. When was shipment date and how was the playfield

Can the old style latch and lockdown still be installed on the new premium machines.

I have always took out that clip style and put the latch style on... but Im wondering if anything has changed.

Next week from what I heard.....

My premium should be here tomorrow or Monday.......

My premium is in my van and on it's way home. Will post feedback and pics later. Fingers crossed but feel good cause it just arrived this s morning and I'm sure it will be a Churchill

Nope. But they went back to Churchill and I'm sure all new games build have them installed. Sure they want this playfield fiasco in the past. I hope !!!

I would say there no upside either. Nothing a different fix could have taken care of anyway

Ordered mine on Tuesday the 15th and picked up Friday the 19th..... Call around

So far my playfeild looks great except for the usual dimpling thats starting....build date 11/10.

People said the full sheet playfield covers stop this, but I dont see how. Just thin plastic that lays on top of the wood no different than mylar and i have seen dimpling under mylar.

Has anyone had problems with weak flipper with build dates alter than 9/1 i heard there were some revisions made ( just rumor )

Yep replaced everything with the urethane ones from coin taker. Not easy but not to bad either .... Also here is a pick of the new airball. Works like it should. The one I got I still smoothed out some of the lines and polished

Remove crossover ramp, take nut off R ramp where it connects to subway. Remove all screws from subway and leave in place, remove terror dog sign, now carefully slide R plastic to the left lifting up to pass by posts. Not bad at all and no real force needed

Revised one from LSOG.... had sort of a half moon cut out on the left lower side so I smoothed out the notch

Having the rubber on the lower position requires less throw to activate the switch

Also being on the higher position.... when the ball hits the rubber it's pushing it in a upward motion by where the ball hits the ring.

Someone had a great idea.

Just dimples from what I have seen, Zero clear issues thus far. PF was 11/3 and I have about 300/ 350 games on .

That SUX...... I dont see how anyone can down vote this. Guy spends 18 thousand dollars on two NIB games that he can't play and has to fix himself right out of the box.

Im sure Stern will take care of the issues , but I know I'd be pissed off too.
