I’ve ordered the same with the housing too, looks wicked.
I ordered the apron to go with the speaker panel but I couldn’t face having the salt and pepper shakers

Replacement playfield for my AIQ. Some companies stand by their products and their customers, and some companies are JJP.

Wow do they come fully populated? I thought they just sent the pf thats mental

 

[Deleted member 2463]

Yeah, it took a lot longer than it should have done partly because of covid, but this is the second playfield I've had replaced by Stern.

 

[scottydoesntknow]

Wow that is customer service for sure, a nice easy swap over! Great stuff!

 

[replicas]

Now you just have to send the original one back.

Wow, and I still haven’t had a replacement subway mech! I guess Neil gets premium service from Stern/Phil.

LE service

 

[Jazzbouche]

LE service

Mines an LE.
But Neil has ‘every single LE service’.

Arrived yesterday! Thanks again to @robotgreg; really happy!
Delivered by Birmingham transport; recommend using those guys; Ian was great to make arrangements, was given an ETA the day before and arrived as planned.

Will post another pic once I have my 'tallica Dirty Donny print hung next to the machine.

Was a bit of a faff setting the levelers with help from my other half (which involved an argument over what is anti-clockwise...), but according to the Pinball leveler app the angle is set at 6.5 degrees.
Think need to revisit the levelling though, as not sure if pics pick it up, but the angle of the back box suggests my back legs are too high (also plays a lot Planning on starting again with all casters flat and then raising as necessary (think I started out with the casters set too long before making adjustment). Also, rookie question; should I have been turning the nut on the casters rather that lifting the cab and turning the bottom/round bits? (To my limited knowledge the nut is just to hold the height in place once you are happy with your adjustments?)

Not like the Fruit machine that was shown on Facebook all smashed to bits.....

Yes
Sucks to hear about the fruit machine though; I'd've been gutted if my pin was damaged.

I usually adjust mine so the front is as low as possible, then adjust the back accordingly. The nuts are to lock the height in place.

Well you're a very lucky boy then.
I ask very nicely too but I'm still waiting.
I asked nicely again yesterday, and apparently Stern have sent me a bracket but Phil thinks it's likely the wrong one.
I suspect that if I asked nicely, and also bought all of Sterns LE"s then stern would possibly be more interested in keeping me happy.

True!
It's been pretty disappointing though. The subway mech isn't a hard replacement and many people have had them sent out, even in the EU. I sent images of my failed one last october. Now you've managed to get a whole play field and I still haven't heard anything (prior to mailing Phil yesterday at least).

Nice. I nearly went with those but ended up ordering the forest ones.
