Waiting a year might help but odds are the bad playfields would still be in inventory and not disposed of. 'If?' it takes playing to find the problem, stuff in inventory won't even appear to have an issue. So you wait a year and then playfield #??? which is in the set of bad batches gets used. Hopefully playfields sitting around will start ghosting so they don't get used.

Quoted from kapsreiter:

thats not true
you have the guarantee where you have bought the machine.
So the distributer must find a solution or must take the game back, cash back

But sending the game back comes with a 15% restocking fee plus you pay to ship it back right?

Quoted from Rob_G:

New MET Premium playfield received last year with the old hardware transferred over by Stern

Didn't think of that way of doing it. You ship and they swap so stern would just be out the labor and the cost of a single playfield. Much cheaper than sending you all new parts and dealing with all those sets of populated defective playfields.

Quoted from kpg:

(Ok, I'll admit, that last one was a lie. But one time my wife played it naked... does that count? haha)

Make sure the garage door was closed for that right?

if you've found a difference in the play fields and it turns out the Stern in house ones are good I hope Stern gets that other manufacturer to cover the costs of the replacement program. That would help the process for sure if they didn't have to lay out more dollars.
