Hi,
new Met Pro owner here. I picked up a machine that was said to be like new, and although the seller and I don't have the exact same definition of "like new", I think I got it at a fair price for both parties.
Now, everything is indeed looking pretty much perfect except for the guitar pick inserts right above the flippers. I still need to clean everything up to make sure it's not just dirt but I think they're starting to show some wear.
I didn't read through the whole thread but is this something common?

Cheers
Phil

So, turns out it's not wear, although I'm not sure whether that's good news or bad.
It seems like most of the inserts are either raised, a little lower than a mylar would be, or there's a tiny gap around them (see video).
I've never owner a Stern before, is that normal?

Actually I'm not talking about bumpy or grainy as a whole, I mean that if run my finger across the inserts (particularly the guitar picks between the flippers), if feel them going up as if there was a mylar (let's say half as thick) over them. If you look at the video you can see the light exposing the round shape of the inserts.

Anyone try green T-Molding on a MET Pro? I was thinking about it but would like to see a sample...

I sometimes have that problem too. At first I was sure there would be some way to adjust the drop target bank forward a little bit, but no adjustment as far as I see it.

Man an Ed Roth EM would have been pretty cool.
