Never buying NIB again. Stern Iron Maiden was my first and last.
Was pretty worried about getting a shit playfield going in due to all of the problems with Stern playfields, and sure enough, immediately after unboxing I noticed that my playfield was ribbed to all hell. It's laughably bad. Had to turn down the brightness on the backbox light just to try and hide it from my eyes while playing. Ugh.
Never again.
Quoted from PtownPin:Did u notify Stern? Did they do anything about it?
Frankly, I didn't think they would give a shit lol, so no, I didn't notify them.
Are people getting new playfields due to ribbing issues?
If so, I will happily submit a claim in hopes of restoring my faith in NIB.
Quoted from snaroff:My PF also has hideous grain (though the clear is absolutely smooth). https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/iron-maiden-issues/page/10#post-4450797
I recently added Pinstadium lights...for me it reduces glare significantly and the lines aren't as visible. PF looks snazzy. Since the GI is really lousy, might want to try them for yourself.

Great suggestion. Unfortunately the visual reflections or artifacting on metal ramps and wireforms created by the exposed SMDs on the pinstadium lights drive me crazy.
Do they have a 'frosted' version? Something like that might work.
