Quoted from ExtremePinball:

I immediately replaced the factory LED strip with a strip of 3100K warm white LED. This better showed the warm colors of the translite artwork, but it still has a bit of a washed out look as the LEDs are just too bright for the artwork. I'll be adding a potentiometer to the wiring so that the translite brightness can be adjusted depending on room lighting conditions.

Can you please share your ultimate fix on this along with the products you used? I think a lot of us would like to do the same. It would be much appreciated.

I am really sorry that this is happening to you. This is bad PR for JJP and they need to make this right for you ... without you providing tons of free labor. Stories like this make me wonder about ordering NIB in the future.

I wish you the best in working things out, and hope that JJP does something special for you for your troubles.

Quoted from VolunteerPin:

As far as the cabinet, I think they should have sent you a set of RadCals to cover up the defect. At least that is what I would have wanted.

... and a free topper to make up for the hours of troubleshooting and the clearly defective playfield glass that got through quality control.
