Did u get your TWD LE playfield replacement Nino ?



Stern and AMD agreed that the playfield in TWD LE is defective and was replaced under warranty. I have to replace it at my cost.

The replacement playfield was worse than the one currently in the game. Placed next to a CPR and Mirco playfield, it looked like the clear was applied just as the gun was running out of clear, or the clear was not mixed correctly. It will be sent to HRP to be cleared professionally. The "good" thing about this is that we are 100% confident either the clearcoat process itself is flawed, or there is no QA at all on ALL playfields that leave Churchill's ( or whatever amateur contractor is attempting to clearcoat playfields).

We are grateful that we received a replacement playfield. Stern and AMD were very professional with the replacement process. The replacement playfied was always going to HRP regardless of the condition of the factory clear.

Greg bought second playfields for ALL his games - Stern, Bally Williams etc..
