so stern don\t sell seconds when it comes to playfields.they just send them out. 
This is appauling on the part of STERN and is what i suspected would happen but hoped wouldnt.
I know 1 playfield repro maker quite well... he has just done a run of a 50's woodrail PF.. artwork was just stunning and it took 3 years to redraw it all for screening. result was a limited run of PF's.
Then the crunch comes...... " we no longer have enough playfields to cover all interest as for some reason the clear has reacted with some of the purple inserts... its not easily noticeable, but we are unable to sell almost 50% of the production unless you are willing to purchase what we would consider a second.. price would be lower obviously".
That is someone who takes great pride in what they do...
STERN just have no care over quality control.. there is NO reason whatsoever that any new machine should have any faults... should all be done before it leaves the factory. Unfortunately, they have always been the same
