Just purchased a brand new IM Pro which was received yesterday. Today I noticed a small hole in the playfield by the bottom right flipper. The hole is towards the middle of the pinball in the Eddie hand. To me it looks like it was done by some sharp tool at the factory. This is my first machine so I am not sure what I should do. I assume this needs to be filled somehow? I was going to contact my distributor/stern to let them know of the situation. Realistically I'm not sure what to expect. I'm unconformable trying to fix this myself since I have zero experience in paint/playfield repair. My main concern is this might cause the clear coat to peel/bubble at some point.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Well I feel dumb lol.

Thank you!

I would suggest contacting Stern to get a new lane protector. I have a table built in June 2019 and it has a thicker silver type of protector not the clear Mylar like in your example.

I'm not sure that this matters much or at all but that ramp is not secured correctly. The washer should be between the nut and ramp and not below. I have attached a picture of how my ramps were attached from the factory. There should also be a larger washer below the plastic sling part to help protect it from being broken. I can't tell if you have one installed from your picture.

Mine looks like that as well. It hasn't affected game play.
