Playfield problems aside, our LE GB has some hardware that already looks very rusted. Came right out of the box like that. Seen it at other Sterns as well. Seriously? Both hinge bolts, both gate flaps, and there is a single washer on the left sling that is brown and corroded.

Not a single game played, first we'll install a playfield protector and the anti-bounce cover in the lower area.

All this aside, the game is looking very well.

It was located at the distributor for a couple months, could be that it was a little humid there, or indeed in customs. Not saying it's due to Stern alone. But they are not using the best hardware, that's for sure.

As I've said, I've seen it on multiple Sterns, whereas ye olde B/W almost never have that problem.
