Quoted from rrosenhouse:Check the 'born on' date. Anything after 10/19/19 should be good.
Unfortunately it's got a manufacture date of August 2019, and it has pooling at the posts, and even a spot where the art lifted a bit. I was able to negotiate what I think was a fair price for both, so I think I'm covered as far as resale value goes. It seems like it played well from the couple balls I put on it.
Quoted from zaphX:You can flatten the pooling with yelobird 's playfield iron idea, and seal them with vireland 's mylar rings. I did this to my Wonka SE and topped with Titan playfield washers.
Yeah, I was thinking about doing that. I think the only thing I'm afraid of is the art/clear coming up when I pull off the posts.
Noticed both of the siderails rattle occasionally, really annoying. Any suggestions on a fix?
Another issue is that when the ball drops down the Gobstopper hole, it will sometimes get stuck, and I can hear something trying to get the ball moving, but I'm not sure what. Sometimes it will do it for 10 or so tries, then go into ball search and eventually it will make it to the VUK and kick out.
