Run a small screw through the high corner and let it flatten out over time.

Some Gottliebs used to have screws to hold the playfield down, adds 20 seconds to your service time.

Quoted from Zitt:

I wouldn't want to run a screw thru my PF.... unless Stern say's Tough Titty.

It does not hurt it at all.

I've got some playfields with over 400 screw holes in them.

Run a screw through it, or put a baby C-clamp or two on it until it stays flat on it's own.

Looking at the last picture, is there a gap along most of the playfield/rail junction?

If yes, try this:

Remove the screws from the bottom of the playfield that hold the rail on. Does the playfield relax?

Sighting the now removed rail like you would a riffle. Is the rail straight or does it bow?

If the rail is totally straight, use about 5 clamps along the length of the rail, and clamp the rail tightly to the playfield before running the screws back in. This way there will be no gaps between.

At least Stern is replacing it.

Look at all the bad WOZ playfields, and JJP is just sending out stickers to cover the missing paint.

How happy would you be with this on your new $9000 game?

Quoted from Warbound:

That is crazy! Are you saying that you have to accept the decal remedy?

Previously, JJP was replacing playfields for free, but now they are offering you decals, or charging you $500 for a new playfield.

Maybe once the money starts flowing again if/when the Hobbit starts shipping, the free playfield replacement will return?

Quoted from TaylorVA:

Do you know if anyone else, other than myself, that was offered the $500 playfield option?

Not that I know of.

Everyone I know got the new playfield and 15 hours of swap work.

#150 8 years ago
Quoted from TaylorVA:

Please elaborate. Were they given payment for someone to do the swap?

No one I know of said they got any money for the labor involved.

That does not mean that it did not happen.

Quoted from Spencer:

$50 bucks says the Cliffy's are no wear to be found.

Sadly that is my bet also.

I can easily imagine that the assembly workers would not recognize the Cliffy, nor have any idea that it should be moved to the new playfield.

I would have taken any LEDs or Cliffys off before returning the playfield.

Quoted from mof:

What I keep asking myself on Pinside is -- how can Stern have ZERO communication on the #1 pinball site on the Internet?

Because Stern is the only game in town.

There are some other boutique companies that have maybe one game that they have delivered in 5 years, but like Gary always says "Stern is the only real pinball company".

Quoted from toyotaboy:

I'd argue that Heighway is going to be a large contender in the upcoming months (especially in europe sales).

We can only hope this comes true.

The proof is when I can go to my local distributor and grab a few of their games from stock.

Quoted from toyotaboy:

In America, it's hard to call even JJP a real pinball company at the moment.

JJP is a boutique pinball company.

Let's hope this latest bail out lets them move up to the big leagues.
