Brett, really difficult to photograph but i know exactly what Nino is referring to. Here is a spiderman i tried to take a pic of, although it didn't show it very well.



This has original code and was bought nib and has been in an office since purchased. It has 768 games on the audits. When looking you can see dimples all over it. My acdc that is huo and only had a similar number of games is exactly the same

Hard to show in a pic but this does do a pretty good job. Talking about the playfield is NOT Stern bashing - it's customers wondering why a $8k to $11.5k new pin really needs its playfield re-coated if it's going to stand up well to use. If buyers don't talk about it Stern will never even think about addressing it. I had hoped Kiss was different as early pics showed a nice, seemingly thick glossy clear. Anyway, really looking forward now to the reveal of the LE/Prem gameplay!
I enjoy Porsche, Gibson LPs, Bally-Williams & learning about pinball maintenance & restoration.
