If they don't correct or improve on that mount I am going to do a mod to cover the pole (get rid of the wiring wrap) and cover those dam ugly bolts.
As for mods Stern have started sending out notices to some modders (not me as I am not activity selling any IP stuff), but they are also trying to tell people that they can't make anything (non IP protected stuff) for a "Ghostbusters" pinball so trying to create a monopoly for their mods and mezelmods. I think this is going too far and they are silly as the modders make some money from making mods so to then put towards buying the next stern pinball - so short sighted.
