well the cotton balls will go good with the tampons a lot on here seem to need.

Personally, someone is having fun with the mosaic effect on photoshop if you ask me. Doesn't look like dimples at all.

nah, either it's photoshop effects, or purposely shot with light and angles just right to blow it out of proportion. I see playfields daily and have for the past 12 years. Dimples look bad when they are fresh and just starting. Even out over time.

orbitor 1 doesn't get dimples. I guess from that perspective, if dimples bother you. Orbitor 1 is the pin to own. Never had a dimple on mine in the 8 years i've owned it.

could be it was orange peeled from the factory as well. My GB doesn't look anything like this. Looks like my shadow,lotr,ac/dc , tf and all the other DMD games I have. No more dimples than anything else made. I'd need to see more pics of a standard player view angle and more normal shots, to really know if it's camera visuals or not. All the playfields that pass through my doors, even with newer sterns, dont' look any different than the DE, Bally, Williams, Sega, Gottlieb stuff I get.

your comparison is useless. GOT has almost no airballs, nor does tron or the Walking dead. Compare it to a game that has equal number of airballs and you will see just as much beat down. Unless something happened and they made the plywood in the wrong order, and a soft layer somehow was put on top. But that wouldn't be sterns fault, that would be the playfield manufacturer. And shit does happen. not saying it couldn't happen.

Hell, I had a earthshaker playfield come in, out of a game for restoration. You know what? Williams FORGOT to put lacquer on the playfield. At all. Anywhere. there as no lacquer clear at all. Went through production and put on route with bare ink the only thing protecting it. Never seen that happen before. Needless to say as soon as ME hit it. It took the ink off as if it was written on like dry erase marker.

then I just misread it. I find that amazing, because every TWD i've seen or played, hardly has any airballs.

it's not the playfield. Were you around when Shadow was new? that game is airball city. Looked just as shitty in a short time when it came out as these sterns do. Just as bad. IJ dimpled like crazy too. very noticeable because of the way the art is. It's always happened. Most were not around back in the early 90's to witness these factory new B/W games coming off the line and see the abuse the playfields took. Put 10k more plays on it, and lets see how that shit looks. If it's not pummeled flat again, then i'll admit the field was fawked. Until then. Not enough info to go off of yet.

clear has nothing to do with dimples ever. Fact. it always has to do with the wood.

still looks nothing like the initial picture. That's pretty standard dimpling. over time, you won't even know it's there anymore.

I just said i'd need to see more pictures from more of a normal perspective to see the true severity of the situation.

that IM hardly has any plays on it. It's going to be awhile before it looks dimpled like TWD did. If it had any amount of plays on it, that magnet should show signs of edging by now.

My stargate when I took it to a show dimpled like crazy after the first 36 hours. Airballs galore. Looked way worse than that TWD you showed. It evened out over time and you would never know years later.

oh, that picture you don't like because it's shot in a way where it accentuates the look of the dimples but you have no problem with the initial posts picture, without more info? This is why I call bullshit on you. I said a million times I wanted to see better representation pictures on the initial post to make a judgement call or not. You argue with me about it. Now you just asked the same fawking thing about a different picture.

At what point does it go from just normal dimples that you have to come to terms with in pinball, to something that's out of the ordinary? What did the clear look like before any games were played on it?

and the initial post picture, is not players perspective under normal lighting. but you refuse to want more pictures on it before bashing stern.

I want to see some normal pictures and not something that looks like a photoshop filter effect on it. Just some normal shots farther back in a regular setting, so we can see what is really going on here.

i know it wasn't photoshopped. I'm saying the way it was taking with the shit resolution, with shit lighting and the angle it was at, makes it look like it was.

Youz don't read so well either. I said," it looks like", doesn't mean it was. Just the way the photo came out. clarified it in the statement I just posted right before your rant.

on the plus side, that clearcoat on that club looks tits.

only these
