I think we should just flat out ask Stern if they have changed anything with their playfields. After all, they are going to start communicating with us more now they said. I'm sure they will be glad to answer this question.

I see my games getting better and better the more I play them. ...or smoother and smoother I should say. Guys Vid and Neo have been doing this stuff for a very long time. I trust what they are saying because of all the experience that they have. I swear that I honestly do not know anybody that is any more picky about things than me, and these dimples don't even bother me in the least. If it doesn't bother me I wouldn't expect it to bother anybody. Just play your ganes and have fun, play the hell out of then and watch them start looking better as you go. These aren't museum pieces guys, they are meant to be played!

Quoted from newpinbin:

This is a photo of another posters ST with thousands of plays on it. Zoom in and you can still see dimples everywhere. Even with all those plays the playfield is not evening out.

I see nothing wrong with that photo at all?? If that playfield truly bothers you then you should never ever buy a new or newer game ever. Just play pinball and stop worrying about the small stuff.

Quoted from Talon2000:

I dunno, I've got a Transformers Pro with no dimples 1500 plays, and a SWLE with 700 plays dimples galore.
So where's the magic # of plays that evens everything out?

No dimples at all? Really?

Quoted from nightsearcher:

I would never buy another aftermarket playfield from a supplier that his playfield dimpled on me. But then again I expect what I pay for! So far so good

I guess you will never buy another playfield then because they all dimple.
