Sorry Gweem that sucks 
I feel your pain about the stern quality control. Look at this. Brand new NIB.

Had 2 rusty leg bolts too.
People harp on me complaining about quality. This is my first NiB stern and aside from the rust I'm already through 2 different coils and 2 cannon motors. At < 150 plays. That's why I'm so disgruntled.
Mark it's not a thread hijack and you obviously didn't read his post.
I'll quote it so you don't have to read the whole thing:
"I’m guessing the ball guide was improperly formed at the factory (gotta love Stern's quality control)."
If its a huo with only 70 plays its likely it did come that way so please re-read the entire thing anyway before trying to belittle me. It's quite nasty for no apparent reason.
No problem at all. Yeah it could have happened during shipping as well.
And yes mines a lemon . Had it a month and it's only worked for a week total.
Quoted from gweempose:I'll probably call Stern on Monday just to see if they happen to have another one they can send me. I'm guessing they don't, but it's worth a try. If that doesn't pan out, I'll try to carefully bend it into the proper shape. I'm concerned that if I use something metal like pliers it will scrape up the ball guide. It's not as if you can really see it when you are playing, but I'd hate to tarnish a game that is so new.
Gweem,
Grab a rag and double it up and put that between the plyers and the guide. No scratching
