So maybe you've heard that there were some quality concerns with a handful of pinball machines from Stern Pinball in the last year or so. Josh was one of the unfortunate few folks who happened to come across one with some clear coat issues. This just so happened to be his first new in box machine. Rightly so, it left him feeling a little rattled with the whole experience. Thankfully he was fortune enough to be able to get a replacement playfield. Join us in the story of his entrance to the hobby, and what issues his game had exactly, and how it was dealt with.
