If after seeing that seminar today you give him one penny as a US consumer you’re out of you f-ing minds and you get what you deserve.

Should I go to his booth and ask him?

This is a picture of tx sector, thats an overlay, cleared done in my backyard garage, its not that difficult, you have to find the right people. Imagine what i could do if i had a couple hundred thousand in equipment.

Its clear that if you’re a game restorer and you install a mirco playfield you are now a third party vendor, he said he will not honor any third party use. So thats his out, if you install a mirco playfield he will deny warranty and tell you it was your installation practice not his products

But he knew exactly what the warranty where he lives is, he can and will be held accountable where he lives. Would be nice if a US company made reproduction playfields with warranty. Its all on record now, if you’re willing to take a chance buy his products, if you’re picky or care about perfection everytime dont. Some games have such bad playfields that what mirco offers Is way better than whats in there. But if you play the game and the clear and art chip down to the wood why not leave the original. Ive wanted to put a new playfield in circus voltaire but i wont take the chance, mine is way better than reproduction with sunken inserts and wavy clear coat

Lets not forget this one, where first he denies, then when proof is shown admits he had some special deals.

Yeah and lets not forget the live feed at last years TPF

I need a nineball playfield, but im not buying mirco junk. Such a shame

Lets not forget this old post! Do not support this company or his products, he’s the worst!

No one should be surprised by this, JJP as a company sends out defective products because they don’t care, and As long as they use mirco it will be more of the same. I have games that i would 100% playfield swap, but because i can only get one from mirco i choose to keep the original, and maybe some day i will send it out

No new crappy products to try and pawn off on us at TPF this year, he brought the TOTAN kit and it didnt work right at the show, never heard about it again after that! Maybe they can give him a twipy for single most hated person at a pinball show, other than j pop at chicago.

I 2nd this, and that goes for any manufacturer using his products in their games. He left TPF early last year I believe.

Highclasspinball since theres so little defects in your product just send replacement to rectify the problem. Its just that easy if you were telling the truth but you’re a liar, and when confronted in person all you could say is send an email. Your customers are here posting pictures of defective products, they email you and then they come back here to tell us you did nothing to rectify the situation, anyone that buys from Highclasspinball is a fool and gets what they deserve by doing business with you and sending you money!

Today at Allentown i saw 2 CV playfields for sale, good price at 600, asked if they were Mirco, the answer was yes my answer was no thanks, been there done that, no way im doing all that work and using his products,Ever!

With all these quality issues and complaints, yet there are still people willing to take a chance, i just dont get how someone can come to a complaint thread and ask about said person/company reliability! 28 pages of complaints and yet you still purchase his crap, shame shame! And come here to ask if hes alright to deal with?

Im the exception, but i can definitely put my money where my mouth is, i needed a tx sector playfield, i went to a flat bed scanner, paid to have it scanned, then i gave the file to a computer artist and they fixed any wear, then I brought the file to tilt graphics, he printed me an overlay, I applied the overlay and clear coated it, it looks amazing but it takes resources, and resourcefulness, patience, and perseverance to get it done. I could do this process over and over if i wanted. Im not interested in the trouble that goes along with it. Im pretty sure theres persons out there that can do a short run of playfields like wade krause, but i think the commitment is 30. I personally verbally confronted mirco at his texas seminar last year, he made it clear that he gives no F—ks about customers in the us. He didn’t show this year probably because it went so poorly last year.

cottonm4 i also want you to know, you’re not alone in what Mirco has done, i have local friends that provided mirco with playfields and plastics which he never returned , when we confronted him on pinside he lied, then we showed the proof then he backtracked and lied some more, hes a liar and a cheat and you are just one of many that have been wronged by him. He goes out of his way to discredit the people that call him out publicly, but in person He got nervous and his only response was if you have a problem email me. He hides from the buyers in the US because hes in another country, in person he knew exactly what the warranty was in his country because he knows theres a legal price to pay, but in the US , theres none and he knows it. Hes reading every word of this thread but knows theres nothing we can do to him so he just ignores making it right because he has no intention on making it right. Wether anyone wants to believe it or not, mirco put a big hit on JJPs profits, GNRLE which was a grail for me are selling for south of 8k and it seems ts4 and gf sales are down compared to the past titles, i really believe the NO WARRANTY POLICY, and MIRCO is the reason! I highly doubt Mirco will show his face at another US pinball show. The best you can do is continue to warn others anytime you can.

I really wonder how many of us there are, i know of at least 10, that will never buy jjp because of the no warranty stance!

Ive bought many items from CPR and never had a bad experience. Mirco on the other hand is a disaster and bad for the pinball community!

I can only say what my experience has been. I know everything is not perfect with reproduction, but i also know john makes right on what he sells. I think thats the point of the thread. Nobody expects Mirco to be perfect, he should make it right but has no intention of doing so.

It seems as far as jjp is concerned ts4 and GF have been relatively rock solid. I like both games, i just think the price of them has them sitting around at distributors.

You guy’s notice everything, its so obvious after its pointed out, otherwise I didn’t see it

I need playfields for three of my games, i will never buy from mirco, not worth doing all that work to be worse off, it really is russian roulette, except 5 out if six holes have bullets.

A friend of mine had the same experience, except mirco only sent a repro and not the original one. So don’t be surprised if your original never returns. Mirco has no integrity!

The emails dont matter to him. First he will threaten you for sharing the emails because it breaks some sort of pinside rule. He will tell a lie and stick to it, then backpedal as the true facts come out, he has done this before, theres a whole thread on it, where he says you dont get your original back, originally he posted on pinside that if you donated something you would get the replacement not the original, when he couldn’t get support he made deals through email or the phone that he would give back the original and give a repro for payment of support. But when you call him out he Will mention the original ad where you dont get it back. This person has screwed so many that theres a dedicated thread to it, yet hes still selling on pinside, go figure!

This is from many years ago, but it shows the intent.

Crispin robin so crispin was never sent his playfield back, you continue to allow Highclasspinball to rob pinsiders by allowing him to be a part of this community. I recently donated to pinside to support it, i have to ask myself why? In this case Mirco responded to you that he was going to send crispin back his items. He lied, its time for you to protect this community.

Great news, it also shows that this thread matters. Update us with your results.

Mirco has been in this thread, he could just tell you whats being sent in this thread or by email. A person only acts like this if this kind of shit gets them off.!!

Congratulations, that looks great to me!

Same old same old with mirco.

We did that 2 years ago and his response was he didn’t know what the warranty was in the US, but just email him if you’re having a problem
