When will JJP finally realize that they are losing more in sales then whatever "savings" are coming from sending customers washer kits, offering $500+ replacement playfields, and shortening their warranty? Many of these affected customers will never come back and some of their experiences have resulted in potential buyers cancelling orders. What a bizarre business approach instead of actually addressing the problem head on and properly taking care of customers.
Quoted from Haymaker:Mirco made the prototype RAZA playfields. Take a close look at this picture

The issue there is really clear...there's no washers lol.
Quoted from adborto:I have a GNRCE sitting in a box. No clue if I should open it or sell it. I have bought every single JJP game. I am so sick of the playfield BS. The worry isn’t worth the purchase at this point. I have never had an issue with AP or CGC. The whole I have to beg and send pictures and blah blah blah for a new playfield that should have been 100% good out of the box is getting old.
With as much as CE's can go for I say list it at $23,000, "settle" if you have to for $20k and then buy a latest build LE for close to free. The latest build LE's don't appear to have any playfield issues and have all of the latest fixes. CE's on the other hand were built much earlier and while some are ok a portion seem to have playfield issues.
Quoted from TechnicalSteam:LOL - I don't know anyone who'd pay 23k for a GNR CE unless it was a friend of a absurdly rich person who doesn't care what it cost.
You would be surprised, $20k NIB is very possible.
Quoted from Haymaker:Mirco quicksilver playfield, pic from a well respected restorer.

Why did the restorer cause that damage? With a special device, called a washer, that would never have occurred. lol
Quoted from butterz:I'm just going to put this pic in. I got GnR on preorder still, seeing all this going down is certainly depressing. Is there a chance these two can sort out all the issues before it ships?

In that picture I see Hobbit was on the line and all I can say is Hobbit playfields seem like some of the best ever made. Extremely durable with minimal dimpling. Whatever was being done back then to make the playfields should just be repeated.
Quoted from PinMonk:The problems started when Mirco went to digital printing instead of screening the art. Hobbit was screened. Never heard of an issue with one. They've done three crappy digitally printed JJP playfields with roughly the same issues in a row now. After 3 failures and more than 4 years, it's clear Mirco's not going back to screening. Hopefully JJP is actually DOING something about it and moving on.
Didn't know that Hobbit was the last JJP with a screened playfield, wow.
I wish JJP would spin up their own playfield manufacturering facility that specializes in high quality silkscreen playfields. Hell they could probably turn it into a profitable business by making playfields for classic games as well if they wanted.
