I will post in this thread rather than clutter up the KISS thread

People, you need to understand that Cavey worships Gary Stern, Stern Pinball and ever designer they employ. Nothing you say will change his opinion

Nino, yes that TWD playfield has issues, but I think they are being magnified as it is Greg's game

Possibly, but the two other TWD pins I've seen have had over 10 times the play and look nothing like the surface of the moon. This game needs to be cleaned and go to it's new home, but it is not presentable. Many KISS fans are looking at buying their first NIB KISS, and when I show them TWD LE as an example of what to expect, they ask about the playfield. So the assumption that it is "normal" will simply cost Stern sales. I have two KISS fans waiting on the outcome of the warranty claim, so it is in stern's / AMD's best interests to look after customers. This is a real test for Stern.

I've had my clearcoat expert look over the game and his view is that the clearcoat appears to be a "mist coat" and then ONE "very thin coat". So technically, I know the problem is a wafer thin clear. Not acceptable to the logical thinker that forks out $12,000.
