Is there a specific mfg date moving on forward from which JJP had corrected the defect on their assembly line?

Quoted from Yelobird:

Works for me! I like a deal anytime.

It's not a deal if you originally intended to buy a game with a good playfield that didn't need replacing.

But yeah, you save $450 purchasing another pf you thought you never needed Sweet deal!

Quoted from cosmokramer:

Wait til JJP sorts out the issue and get one that does not have these issues to begin with....nothing good can come from buying a game with known playfield defects...

There is no certainty that JJP will sort it out. They may not rerun the game again.

JJP went through the EXACT same thing with early WOZ games. I had to replace my badly chipped pf and pay Kruzman to clearcoat the replacement and incur an additional expense swapping it out.

I'm surprised they learned nothing from the WOZ debacle. Inexcusable that this same failure happened again.

Quoted from Psw757:

Just curious how much that swap cost you?
I’m sure the majority of us with damage will be doing that at some point.

I got two different quotes. One was $1000, and the other was $600. I thought $600 was reasonable, but it's still an expense you shouldn't have to pay.

Are there any playfields that were correctly produced, or are all owners eventually going to require some unfuckering due to a systemic faulty process?

In other words, is it just a matter of time, or did some owners just get lucky with a perfect pf?

Quoted from DarthSinex:

Yes, mine is not

Your game sounds similar to mine.

I said the same thing before it happened. And I protected it right out of the box.

#2362 4 years ago
Quoted from NeilMcRae:

Sorry dood but you are patently wrong. Populated Playfield swaps are the only remedy other than taking back the game and refunding me in full. You can chose to be in another reality - I chose to be in the one that resolved this issue.

In reality, which occurred for you?

Full refund or free populated pf?
