Quoted from MT45:

On the "shit breaks" part ... I get it. I own 12 machines and have had more than my share of "shit breaking". There is almost nothing I have not fixed, soldered, glued, epoxy, screwed or replaced. Trust me - I give the same advice to folks that buy a machine from me "learn to fix it" cause it will break. I agree with this philosophy 100%
This is not a "it's broke issue". This is simply a quality question. The harness to run the fire button was never installed. It was laying in the bottom of the cabinet with the cabinet end AND the head end disconnected. It did not come off in transit. The leaf switch on the fire button was not working because there would have been NO testing of it because the harness had not been installed. The playfield (to me) is the same issue. Not up to my standards for MY $7,500 spend. Might be for some of you, not me. While I may have to deal with it (likely), I don't have to like it

I don't blame you one bit, for that kind of money you should get a nice pf not a second. I'd call the distributer tomorrow morning, send pictures and raise holy hell. You got shit for a pf so let them know you want something done about it. My $4800 Pro pf looks 1000% better then that, same with my $4800 Pro Mustang pf. Remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Quoted from PinMonk:

It's very common on Sterns - more are like this than not from what I've seen.

Well you've never seen my $4700 ST and Mustang Pros then....perfect pf's, smooth as glass.

Quoted from Baiter:

The clear coat does tend to be thin on Stern Pro models,

Sure couldn't tell from looking at my Pro Mustang.

Quoted from DocRotCod:

Wow.. no way for ANYONE to keep defending Stern at this point. That's the worst call Gary could have made. And says volumes of Stern's ethics.

Yeah to hear that come directly from the head of the company is awful.

standard game test scratches.

??? My NIB Mustang Pro didn't have that.

Quoted from vid1900:

Stop buying NIB games. Your expectations are too high for a piece of commercial coinop equipment; regardless of the price.

Oh come on vid, if my $4700 Pro can come looking like a polished show car from the factory why can't his 8k game be in at least the same condition. Something went on in the factory.
