    Bad coil stops are “Evil Shenanigans” - Jurassic Park, Deadpool, and Elvira all had the same cheap coil stops. I ordered a set for Elvira as soon as purchased the pin.

    Quoted from gumnut01:

    Thanks hurryuppinball. I don’t want this to be a slag fest against Stern. I just want them to fix it. If they don’t know, how can they correct the problem.

    I hear ya. I love their games but always end up having to tweak things when I buy a NIB machine. It just comes with the territory with any machine (JJP, Stern, etc). This is such a simple fix for Stern and suspect it is strictly related to the cost of the higher quality coil stops. This issue has been around for a while and I am sure they are aware of it. It would be really nice if they addressed it though. I started my YouTube channel to help people with issues just like this so they can get their machine back up and running and learn a little along the way.
