Quoted from MK6PIN:Agreed, by the look of the photo....I've got over 140 on mine...some normal dimpling ( including magnet) but nothing like this.
Certainly sad, but appears one side of the magnet was low, hence the bashing of wood on that side. Thought playfield issues were ghosting, chipping on GB....one BM exhibited this that I saw in another thread.
The game is a blast to play, even with early code....maybe your concerns are better posted in the " what's your impression" thread, as opposed to " saving" the Op who simply wants to buy one.....geesh
I have new BM66Le #66 and it has over 100+ plays with no pf issues. Minor dimpling on the mag core but very hard to notice. It plays great and very fun. However, my older Williams pins do not have any dimpling or craters. In fact a friend of mine has an EarthShaker with over 140k+ plays with no dimpling or issues that some of these newer Sterns are having. Hopefully Stern gets their QC under control before a big theme like StarWars is launched or pf protectors will become the norm.
