Quoted from NickBuffaloPinball:as of right now, this issue is still in limbo with Stern and Cointaker, so hopefully they will take care of me. However...
So why take the time to write this?
It should be a warranty, period...
Kick back, relax and play your other machine until the new one gets there. (Either new PF, or new machine.)
Oh- and have a beer or four!
It sounds like you need it.
Stern will make good on their end.
If not, Chris will take it up with them on your behalf I am sure...
