So, Stern cannot build:
Cabinets, separating due to weak leg braces.
Pf’s, ghosting inserts, soft wood and, yes, ball divots early. Some deep.
Electronics, node boards failing.
Then what’s left? Translites look ok. No, wait. Got rid of true backglass mirroring for foil fake.
Ok, wiring? Less is more, right? Just reach up, over or under, that start button will be behind the translite soon...
I say these things in jest, I’ve bought many nib Sterns, never had an issue except Tron LE cpu went dead and due to ‘special LE coding’, had to pay $450 direct exchange boards only.
I’ll just see what other makers will offer. THAT is no jest.
