Maybe I'm not understanding, but if the ends are already tinned and just crimped to the connector, couldn't you just heat them up to effectively solder them on?

Quoted from Peak-Pin:

Based on history, eventually Stern will publish a Service Bulletin on their website regarding the node board issues. (https://sternpinball.com/support/service-bulletins/) They will probably make a kit available with a new motor and you'll have to order it through your distributor. But the owner will have to take action to start this process. They aren't going to magically start shipping new motors with proper crimp pins to all owners of Premium/LEs. There are presently two service bulletins affecting Rush machines.

This absolutely nails it. People can stop complaining about Stern, it's useless. Protect your investment if you want to, or don't. If it breaks, get in line with them and wait for parts. The Stern machine handles these matters consistently and it's not changing. Reference Rush scoop protectors or AIQ subway issues as reinforcement of this pattern in recent games.

Quoted from gjm:

Didn't you mean to spell "inconsistently?"

No, they consistently don't respond or give away parts to people that don't open tickets. They consistently produce service bulletins for issues once they have a viable solution. They consistently keep producing machines with little to no QC and don't apologize. I don't see any inconsistency in their approach.......expecting a different outcome is futile here and whining on pinside doesn't do anything. Vote with your dollars and learn what to expect from each manufacturer if you buy NIB. DYOR!

Quoted from SuS:

I appreciate the effort that Pinsiders have made to determine the root cause, since it clearly isn't the Node 10 board itself. Hopefully Stern will release a permanent solution in the near future.

Actually it was pointed out by someone with electrical engineering skills that the node board design is the failure point with the chip set and voltages used not properly protecting the chip according to the chip manufacturers specs. I do hope Stern eventually redesigns the node 10 board to account for that, but you can be sure they will use up all current inventory before cutting over to a new design if it ever happens.

Quoted from gjm:

I agree, tell that to post #196
I may cry in my beer but I never whine

I wasn’t calling any one person out sorry if it came off that way. Just trying to get people to realize the expectation that stern will make every owner right on any defect isn’t going to happen that’s not how they operate.

Here is my original full statement for context, your question in the middle of the two responses was about consistency.

“This absolutely nails it. People can stop complaining about Stern, it's useless. Protect your investment if you want to, or don't. If it breaks, get in line with them and wait for parts.

Quoted from flynnibus:

Unknown - not all games have had the issue. Just many games. LEs were built before premiums and we have a premium from the start that hasn't had an issue.

I will second this, I have a friend with a premium and two others with LEs and all three games have been fine so far. And my routed pro is rock solid too!
