New playfield!
I’d been waiting so long for a “first” playfield from IPB, that I gave up in the end and accepted a “good” second, which I received today:
IPB Playfield "second"
At first, everything seemed just as it should, but on closer inspection, I found the following damage:
-
- White specks where the paint is missing prior to the clear coating on shooter lane
-
- White specks where the paint is missing prior to the clear coating at entrance to Thing’s ramp
-
- White specks where the paint is missing prior to the clear coating from entrance to main ramp and around bookcase
-
- Splintering inside inserts
-
- Splintering inside inserts
-
- Splintering inside inserts
-
- Damage to rear corner of playfield (repaired)
I contacted IPB about these faults and they agreed to take the playfield back or give me a small discount. I opted for the discount, as I will have to have the playfield clear-coated again to even up the playfield – especially over the Mansion inserts – and intend to use this opportunity to touch up the playfield.
