Is that a good or bad thing?  !@#
No matter what I say/think I will be wrong  %$%

Stern have come a long way since being bailed out by investors. A lot of smart decisions that have set the ship back on course. Their larger production facility has a lot of great new machines from Stern and boutique manufacturers - Whoa Nellie, MM and the next games (AFM etc). Plus the Stern titles in the pipeline and re runs etc. Fantastic news for pinball collectors.

Regarding QA - I can only speak from experience. My KISS LE has only had the sound cutting out, which Joe from KJWHF addressed immediately. I was recently made aware that distributors are asked to perform "Pre Flight Checks" on ALL new Sterns to check for issues that may have arisen during shipment, or QA issues not picked up during production. The increase in warranty claims was the main reason. Customers can have the unboxing themselves, but distros prefer to unbox and check everything. The KISS Pros seemed to have suffered the most with the decals peeling, and the cab bolts overtightened twist the artwork. Easy fix with an iron and cloth !

Women in the workforce - why not ! I think it is great !

From what I'm hearing, the production line is running full capacity with the Sterns and other machines.
