Perspective buyer here. Has Stern finally resolved the pooling issues? I would be interested in hearing from owners that have November build dates.

Quoted from fooflighter:I would say yes the pooling is fixed but only because the clear coat is thinner not because the formula is any different... I have noticed on areas where the ball guides are tightened down overly hard the playfield was starting to bunch up and pool a little... I took a heat gun to those areas and did a couple 3-second passes and it laid back down then I covered those spots with mylar... I may even put some fiber washers underneath..Nothing like what was in the earlier runs but it still has the potential if those guides are cranked down..my recommendation would be to check your ball guides in all the screws when you get your nib to make sure nothing is torque down extra tight and then after about a hundred plays make sure there's no excessive rubbing going on anywhere and if so mylar up...
Direct contact of metal ball guides on the playfield that get hit repeatedly and vibrate back and forth makes no sense... Not sure why they can't come up with a better system from the factory
I've also had very very slight cracking and some small chipping around a couple posts.. but I put down some water thin super glue to re-bond those areas.. and they haven't been a problem since
And I play the shit out of my game get over 1500 plays right now
Do you think the clear coat is too thin now?

Quoted from purbeast:It's 3/4".
My HD has 1" in stock so I may grab those and see if they work. It looks like there is clearance for an extra 1/4" through the hole on the other side where it screws in.
I just bought some today at HD. They are in the "specialty" slide out trays, and they only had them in stainless steel.

Quoted from TheNecromancer:Hey guys, I got the Stern shaker motor and I'm on the fence. I really like the small hits you get from it like when the jeep spins or the left inlane strobe and such but when T-Rex picks up the ball for the multi-ball the shaker seems to wind up to fast and seems to be a bit to much. more of a cabinet rattler vs a shaker. Noisy and such. I wish there was some way to slow the RPM down.
On a pro, you can hit both flippers at the same time just before the shaker runs to start T-rex multiball, and it will cancel the shaker. I think it ends the animation as well. Might work the same on a Premium.

Quoted from Driz1847:I have the same issue, but with the O shot. Really fast, clean shots to the O orbit do not register, but slower ones do. Would a similar fix with the black tape help this opto as well or something else?
Thanks
Yes, it will take care of the problem. It doesn't have to be black(electrical?) tape either. I took a piece of clear scotch tape with a small square of paper attached to it and covered the lower half of the opto opening.

Quoted from Walk:Does anyone here have a JP and a Foo? Do they feel too similar? I can't help but see JP layout when I see Foo Fighters.
I have both. I don't think they are too similar. Both have a lot of flow. Shots on JP are more difficult to me.
