OP
Quoted from Phbooms:
So i got my replacement on November 23 with broken plastics and one of the apron studs broken off. Now at 40 plays its ghosting already on the storage facility arrow insert. this is crazy! I will NEVER no matter what title buy a NIB Stern ever again. HUO games for me from now on unless from JJP or another company.

Sorry to read that this happened again. All that work of removing the playfield,shipping it back and then reinstalling a new one for the same bs ghosting. How long did it take?

OP
Quoted from Phbooms:
for the replacement it didnt take long, 9 days from time i shipped old pf till i got the "new" one.

How many hours did it take to pull out/put back in?

OP
Quoted from Phbooms:
10 minutes to pull and put it in. 3 wires and it comes right out.

Not bad, thought it would be a long process.

OP
Quoted from Phbooms:
trust me its not a good feeling once you see the ghosting let alone a 2nd time! i still love the game but Stern really messed this replacement program up if there using old stock playfields and smearing out the original stamp dates, pretty crooked if thats what they did!

So are they sending you another playfield?

OP
Quoted from Phbooms:
no idea really. there looking into it to see what they want to do is what i was told. id assume since its just a touch of ghosting now they will make me wait until its gotten worse. the ghosting actually bothers me less then the smearing of the stamp and acting like its a brand new playfield made after the ghosting issue was resolved when i think it had a April or May date on it that they smeared it so i couldn't read it then stamped it Oct 13

Looking to see what there going to do????? A new playfield should be in the mail.

Quoted from IdahoRealtor:
Pretty much the same as non-ghosting. Assuming no mods I'm sure you can low $4000s for it. At the end of the day it plays the same and is barely noticeable and is not a huge deal in the real (non-pinside) world.

The more play it will get the worse it will become and in the end it will be ruined.

Quoted from PinRob:
Do ghosting inserts eventually lead to something more serious on the playfield?

Quoted from jar155:
A ghosted insert means that there is a gap between the insert and the clearcoat. It's going to be more prone to cracking from impacts, and the ghosting is likely to grow over time. I think kpg has cracks in his playfield from severe ghosting.
