Quoted from Gotman:I ended up changing the playfield myself. It took two weeks working a few hours each day or about 30 hours. It was my first attempt, and it took another two weeks to fix the fuse blowing problem. Turned out it was the staple holding the light under the flipper assembly. This light is fastened with a staple on the light’s wire lead. The positive wire staple was touching the light socket, so add another ten hours. It took 40 hours on first attempt. Plays perfect now!
If you bought a new machine and the play field was damaged, I would think Stern should also pay for the labor to replace it. If you buy a car with a defective motor, the car company doesn’t give you a new motor and leave you to install it. I know I’m dreaming given how the pin industry handles these things. But I’m also right.
