Stern has provided solid tech support to me over the years. I am not happy with Stern releasing games with known playfield isssues. I don't have confidence that any game Stern is currently making, will be free of deficiencies. However the prices have increased so fast and gotten so high, that combined with the quality issues, means I am out of the Stern nib market. Will still be targeting HUO Sterns for purchase going forward so I can tell if it's ok first. Buying a new pin should not be stressful.
