Silverball Museum got a Beatles in a few weeks ago, and the playfield already looks like the dark side of the moon.

I really like this machine as it blends the old and new styles of games well, but the amount of playfield dimpling for such a new machine seems extreme. The game is in a low traffic area hidden upstairs in a corner and most likely hasn't been played much.

I remember it being all over the playfield and it looks just as bad in person.

An old machine sitting next to had barely any, and was only slight dimples.

Quoted from snyper2099:

Let's all calm down a bit... It also has WATER on the playfield glass. (First pic).
This post is fake news/click bait to the extreme and everyone fell for it, myself included.
You will need more convincing shots than this to trick someone with a degree in photography design.
You can clearly see the reflection of the BG in the top of this shot which proves it was taken with the PF glass on. Why would someone do that? Yeah, exactly. It was to trick the viewer in to thinking those reflections are on the PF, and not on the PF glass. Or, it was unintentional and taken out of context. BUSTED!
And yes, the 2nd pic has the PF glass on the machine as well...
People sure do get all worked up about some fake shit posted on a pinball forum.

Snyper why don’t you take a trip to Silverball Museum Or ask someone in south Florida to take a look. I’m not some first time poster here and yet you in essence called me a liar, a fraud, and a troll. Your response is completely inappropriate, has no basis in reality and I imagine violates the spirit of Pinside community. I took the time and energy to take these pics and post them in effort to allow potential buyers to see this issue and hope that manufacturers get some incentive to fix a continued problem, that in my mind threatens the hobby. Of course I had no access to take pictures without the glass on, but there were no water drops on the glass. I focused on the playfield, not the glass.

Though it looks different, It's actually the same machine. JP's pics were with the flash on from directly above. Mine were without flash and more of an angle and with the reflection of the LCD off the playfield.

Guys that tap out dents in a car always look at an angle and at a reflection off it otherwise you can't see indentations.

I was actually there again tonight playing it (I really like the game) and asked a guy waiting to play if he noticed the wear, and he said he did. It's plainly visible to the naked eye. It does matter how you photograph it. Rain will hardly photograph at all without being backlit.
