Just a thought... but it is definitely the CC not the timber as its on the inserts. Fish eyes created in a CC are because of grease/ silicon residues and leave craters where in the centre there is no CC. Often a 2nd coat will still not fill these craters.
So its not fish eyeing..

Its not " orange peeling" as its dimples are too round.

Ive only seen this type of finish if a roller is used.. normally the foam ones. Leaves a lot of air pocket bubbles that pop...  how thick the clear is and ambient conditions would determine the amount of craters.
I strongly suspect that the CC is rollered on


Got me stumped then...
The playfield surface was like a mirror when we unboxed the game. It was stunning. Imagine a piece of glass, then it started to deteriorate. After a week, Greg took the factory manual and was about to order a replacement playfield. I could try moving an inlane post, but on this game, I'd have to remove ramps etc..

I would like more feedback on other member's Stern machines. Anyone else have a TWD LE ?
