Is it just me or has Koz done an about face since his trip to the Stern
factory I remember seeing on here awhile back? Seems he used to rail on
them as much as anyone here, now one bad word and he rides out on his
horse carrying the Stern standard to defend the kingdom. My point isn't
Stern is so bad but he sure seems to be drinkin' the Stern koolaid
these days.

BTW, is Stern koolaid grape or cherry? ;-)

Pinball has enough problems pushing it to the grave. Low quality is
one more big shove. Way to go Stern.

sooo, either you don't own a pinball machine or you don't play the ones

wouldn't dimple would probably be something like Ipe, and then a
playfield would cost about $200 just for the wood.

so true. i guess when cars get dings from rocks the bitchers stop
driving them or buy from a different car company whose cars don't ding,

people on this board act like dimples on pf's havn't been happening for

it's funny how no-one bitched when t-2's started to look like

Back then (T2 time) people played it at the local arcade so they didn't
care if the game was damaged or didn't held up well.. it wasn't their
investment.
All people wanted was 50cent worth of gameplay.
Now they own a machine and want $4000 worth of gameplay.
That's a big difference.

LOL, well they ain't gonna get it. if they don't like it, don't buy it.
it's pretty simple. even if stern went to a wood as hard as oak, it
would still dimple. you guys are asking for something that will NEVER
happen. do you honestly think their is a sliver of a chance that stern
is going to use a different kind of playfield material when pinball
companies have been using the same stuff for DECADES? WAKE UP!
what is next, not wanting playfields to chip? lol.

Either relax or freak out! This is normal. I've seen brand new games in a
showroom with dimples in the playfield.
If you relax, you'll enjoy your game. If you freak out, you'll not want to
play it too much for fear of damaging the playfield and you'll eventually
sell the game with low mileage.
The ball's normal action is like an occasional soft tap on the playfield
with a ball peen hammer!

Yes, sadly more folks are worried about their
"investment" than the game or gameplay. "Cabinet

A full playfield mylar would help, but not entirely elminiate the
