Just received an email saying my SE is on it's way to me in Canada. My first pinball.

Quoted from etr104:#2000 has been delivered here in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. August 2021 manufacturing date. I ordered through Player 1 Amusements Group based out of the Toronto area back on November 11th, 2020, so took close to a year to get here. Not going to lie, the wait was making me insane, but this game is well worth the wait. Came with v1.22 installed. I'll upgrade to 1.23 in the coming days.
This one has Use Your Illusion I on the record spinner. (Which I'm happy about, this is my favorite GNR album, I rank it even above Appetite).
So far the game is flawless, no QC issues that I can find. Not a huge fan of the plunge (I find plunges to the back of the playfield more satisfying than a plunge that only goes about 5"), but thats more of a game design issue.
My other issues are likely due to my own low skill level as a player. I have a real difficult time getting the left ramp. I don't know if there's an adjustment to the game I need to make, or just more practice (more likely). The other thing is that center scoop. When I don't need to hit it (ie when I'm already in a song), I hit it non-stop. When I actually want to hit it (ie to start a song), I can't hit the thing to save my life. Again, I think this is a reflection of my own skill level rather than a problem with the game.
We'll have to wait and see how this playfield holds up after a couple hundred plays.
By the way, this is my first pin, so prepare yourself for a barrage of stupid questions that I'll likely have in the coming weeks/months as I learn how to maintain this thing!
I bought an SE back in April from Player 1.
My first pin too.
I'm in Tecumseh.
I purchased an SE back in April, and noticed chipping around posts a few months back.
JJP said they would send me a washer kit, but after waiting a long time, I contacted them again and they told me they would not be sending me anything.
It's my first pin, I love it and would never sell it.
Plan on leaving it to my Sister eventually, as GNR is her favorite band, don't want to leave her a bunch of problems.
I'm brand new at this, and just have no idea what I'm doing (I'm in Canada).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to fix my playfield problem. GNR was my first pin...I've since bought a Rush, can't believe what a better machine it is compared to the JJP mess. They promised to send me a washer kit, but after waiting forever, they told me they wouldn't be sending it because they changed their policy. My family really hasn't played the game much in the last year.. don't want to make the issues any worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I apologize if I offended anyone. I do love the machine. Just a little frustrating I can't play it as much as I would like to.
I realize all games can have their issues.
