Quoted from J85M:If your going to vote at least post in relation to your vote.
I voted NO, simple reason I have had games 20-30 years old with no ghosting and a lot of those had incandescent lamps under them and where ex route games so at some point those inserts got hot while the playfields got played hard. I have had a lot of older Sterns with no ghosting. Now recently its become a normal regular occurrence
Plastic inserts all have crazing,on older pins it was less noticable cause they had old skool bulbs.
Nowerdays these bright leds illuminate the stress cracks in the plastic..
And don't forget,the clear coat nowerdays is not the same quality clearcoat as 30 years ago,because people died inhaling that paint..
It sadly was way better clearcoat though...the proof?
No ghosting on the old skool pins.
I will never buy nib Stern again after the ghostbusters LE i bought...but just saying,if you were Stern you'd do the same...make it "clear" it in the warranty section.
Apparantly clearcoating is real difficult?
Else they'd use a different method?
But it's better than NO clearcoat like Gottlieb did...then your playfield graphics would come off..
Come on,let's talk about fun stuff.
