This pic would worry me most. It's a star post and the playfield is lifting around it.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Unfortunately I don't see JJP replacing playfields with populated ones for those with chipping at the sling posts. Game is done, probably limited parts left, and they are moving into Wonka, game #6, etc.
What JJP should at the very least do is offer a "fix" kit for earlier built games. In the fix kit include posts that are smooth at the bottom, and the washers. I also noticed my 2/4 LE has a lexan washer installed under the star post located under the Black Pearl ramp, that should be included too. Basically any sort of protection being installed on the latest games needs to go into the the fix kit.
Finally, JJP should offer decals that are mylar square size of the artwork around the post holes so owners can choose to cover it up if they want to with using standard posts. Either that or include starposts with the clear lexan washer they are using under the Black Pearl ramp. This isn't an ideal solution but for the price of these games its the least they can do.

This is a absolute bullshit repair on such a expensive game. Should be replacing playfeilds with non defective ones.
I knew you were a jjp fanboy but this is rediculous.

Quoted from kcZ:

Star posts and don't make them gorilla tight when installing.

Sorry you are wrong, even the star posts from the factory are making the clear wavy.

Quoted from Doctor6:

Is this the only Jersey Jack machine doing this?

Sadly no, they have all had issues at one time. woz had big chunks of art by the pop bumpers chip and peel off, dialed in had paint chips around the scoop with very low plays.

Quoted from Lermods:

Won’t mirco have these for sale down the road? might be more money, probably will, but why buy something you likely will never need. I won’t be buying an extra playfield.

I really doubt mirco will have these down the road as they would have to get a license for them.

Can you post a side view of this spot so we can see how thick the clear is?
