Quoted from Hayfarmer:I'd keep trying because that's an unacceptable product
I know DeadFlip was reading a script from Stern's Marketing dept. during the V-expo tour, but there were certainly some head scratchers in there.
I mean we had ghosting inserts, cracking cabinets, pitted balls, chipping clear, pooling, poor art printing, and now warped playfields. Perhaps some of what we saw in the tour has rectified some of those issues, but some are still very prevalent. You can't say "all 3500 parts are inspected by hand, to make sure you get the quality you expect out of a Stern pinball machine" and then have these persistent and repeating issues". Straight up Marketing fluff.
