I think you will find the cost cutting days are mostly numbered at Stern.
Of all the ACDC machines sold to members of this forum, over 50% have had a fault/ issue so far... scratches from factory, bodged clear coat, balls getting stuck... one member even had 2 NIB that didnt work at all. MPU's are surface mount components ( cheaper to produce, almost impossible to fix). Some of these are not the great priced model at under AU$6000, but a AU$10,000 super machine
The days of Stern cost & corner cutting will never be over... its what fuels the engine
