I am pretty sure Gary Stern has had a lot of practice running a pinball factory's production over the last 40 plus years.
The emphasis is on quality & not quantity which is much better for the end consumer.

Waiting for quality is always better than getting something quicker & having issues.
I like watching the Stern videos where everything is being done at a casual quality pace instead of a frantic pace like USA car companies.

Women also seem to make up the majority of the production staff at Stern which is great.
They should be very proud of the products they hand make that end up all over the world.

Does anyone have any knowledge about Bally or Wiiams or Gottlieb back in the glory days ?
We're most of the staff male or female mostly or was it a 50/50.

Always wondered why Stern has a mostly lady workforce.
If it works, can it & clone it they say !
