Any one have "safe" dates some what narrowed down on MET, SMVE, or other newer sterns. I know it seems that GB is when the vast majority of problems hit but would be nice to have an idea of what older pins like MET to avoid after a certain manufacturing date!

It is interesting how many people don't know about the issue. I'm fairly new to pinball and some how just assumed if you owned multiple machines and were big on pin you trolled pinside. But a few places with a large number of pins I play at hadn't really heard of the problem. And one guy is fairly active in pinside!

What's odd is the one on the right the blue looks brighter with the top half faded. The one on the left looks reversed. The red/orange and yellow are brighter and the blue looks faded in the bottom.

Stern did live tour today on FB. If you have ever seen any of these you can comment while it's going on and it shows up at the bottom of the screen just like with twitch and other live things. While it was going on a guy asked if they addressed quality control issues yet. He obviously got no response but as soon as the live event was over his comment was missing immediately from the comment section.
