How thick is the plywwod on a Stern cabinet 7/8”?

To Sterns credit it sounds like if you are one of the few that have this issue they will warranty the cabinet. I am curious if anyone ever heard from Stern on if doing this cabinet reinforcement will void your warranty?

I have never heard of the rear corners of a Stern cabinet splitting... Ever.

Fair enough now there is one, I’m not saying it can’t happen but it seems to be a very rare situation. Who knows if that game was dropped during shipment ect. Given the depth of the cabinet in the rear it’s hard to believe the Williams style bracket alone would prevent separation in a poorly bonded cabinet.

Here is what I did on my games, I used 3/4” wood screws with washers. The brackets are available at Home Depot.

Didn’t feel like ordering screws and no one in town carried the Philip’s head in this style of screw, they actually worked really well.

I also posted this on the other cab issue thread:

I talked to Chas yesterday he told me they have several cabinet manufacturers that they buy from, one of their cab suppliers was doing something different and only cabs from that Manufacture have an intermittent issue. Stern is aware of the issue and know where the cabs were coming from. It sounds like they have taken steps to correct the issue with the MFG. one last note I was worried that if I did the Williams brackets in my games and still had a problem that it would potentially void my warranty, Chas told me he/Stern was fine with it if I wanted to install the Williams brackets. Chas says his big headache is not a random cabinet failure it’s people putting 6 and 12 way power splitters on their games and frying something then calling him to sort it out.
