Installed this on my foo with the green led. Also got a white led because i was worried green would look out of place. Long story short i never even tried the white. The green pops so well! Never used to even notice when sonic radio was flashing. Now you can’t miss it. Great job with this!

You can speed up the install by leaving the screws and rubber o-rings on the plastic. Just unscrew the screws from the playfield and remove the plastic with the screws and o-rings still in place!

Cant wait to get this Fix! I have an LE Version and I noticed this problem instantly. It feels like the game is really fast and the flippers are hitting the ball really strong and I am using all of the default settings. It happens a lot, like just about every game for me and it seems to happen when I hit the ball fast and hard. I have watched hours of people playing this on KZread Streams and I have not noticed others complaining. Not really sure why I noticed it immediately but anyway super happy there is such a great fix. THANK YOU to whoever you are! (You know after spending 14K on this machine, it would be awesome if Stern offered to pick up the tab on this, as it appears to be a huge oversight. Not sure how it got past all the Testing but then again as I said I did not see it happening on the KZread Live Streams. Is it possible my settings are somehow different making the ball travel faster or the flippers hit stronger than what I have seen in the Live Streams?)

That seems like a massive oversight by Stern. Seems like people were hating on this game, but I remained optimistic for this release (not a collector, just a player/competitor), but after seeing this, I now have to agree with those haters. Stern flopped on this one, no pun intended. This doesn't just concern airballs getting stuck or damaging components, but the playfield will also suffer continual damage as time goes on. If not by the ball pushing it down, then by the ball striking the opening's edges repeatedly.

@michaelperlewitz8410 it's slow. Alot if horizontal bouncing and ball play is slow. The movie scenes and right flippers stop all speed and flow. The 5 I have seen installed locally all don't work properly, and it was designed cheaply using cost as basis not using innovation and creativity as a basis. It shows. The spinners are flat/blah, take up too much space, and top right bar in front causes nonstop airballs as well getting balls stuck or breaking components. Everyone I have talked to agreed its worse than venom and elwins worst by far. You may like the liscence, but the play is bad and gets old so fast.

Presumably, it's because the playfield is angled. The ball is being fired up a slope, so there's a force pushing down. I wonder what wear will be like around the slot...

Your options for not dimpling a modern Stern are 1) playfield protector, or 2) don't play. You could also turn down flipper power, which could prevent some airballs, to minimize frequency and severity, but it'll still happen.
