    Quoted from phalcon_2600:

    On the last Kaneda’s pinball podcast he was the first to break the story that going forward Mirco playfeilds will have new added quality control procedures. There will be an area, it would be under the apron where they will screw down an indicator. This will be something like a star post. It was said Mirco has also changed or updated their clear coat formula going forward.
    Hmmm... wasn’t chipping and pooling a problem way back with pirates and Wonka? Thought the clear formula had already been changed. Anyway, this indicator post is supposed to make it easy for Mirco to identify if a playfeild is going to be a bad one, the kind that will pool and chip around the posts before it is sent to JJP. Opinions??? What do you think of this? Do you think this will resolve the JJP pooling and chipping issue?

    Does this new 'quality control' look for completely missing artwork? Like the TZ Door panel text?

    Quoted from dothedoo:

    Same people that QC'd the Meteor playfields from CPR.

    Okay, I laughed. Good reply.

    Quoted from PinMonk:

    This is a HUGE hole in Mirco's quality control, and he refuses to fix it, which would be dead simple - release the pre-run final art candidates to the internet and crowdsource the art check before running a ton of wrong playfields. It would stop idiotic mistakes like vampire willie from shipping

    Agreed. Goes for CPR as well. Hell - not just for PFs, but backglasses.
