Here are some really good examples of the insert issue all the pics were taken from a frame by frame screen shot of a video I made of my MMR at the same time with the same camera in the same light please reference post 120 through 123 in this thread:

I think the big problem is that on earlier runs of MMR this problem did not exist but on later runs it does. So what changed to give the inconsistency between these batches. If it were on every MMR out there I can understand the argument of it just being that way but it is not. Inconsistency between 2 runs of the same part/product=manufacturing defect

i have mmr 560 and the orange inserts left and right are very transparent also clear shield insertsabove flippers are almost transparent when lit?

I have #2_ _ and the text and lighting on mine is perfect and actually I like it better than my original MM that I've owned for 18yrs!

That's exactly the issue, differences in batches so it's not an issue on all MMRs hence it is a batch defect.

I got an email from Doug at CGC today asking for pictures of the playfield with the game off... I sent pictures back with both the lights on and off to show that they are illegible. I will update if I hear something.

mine looks ok when not lit up, when lit up the lettering looks almost transparent,but its very hard to tell how bad it is unless another playfield is up against it. but by eye when lit im not happy.

I have MMR LE #669 and I do see what everyone is talking about. Many of my black on white inserts are very hard to read when lit.

I just got my MMR LE Black game installed this week-end and I love it but the inset text issue is very much present. My room does not have much light and therefore no direct Sun exposure but it is pretty much impossible to read anything on the inserts when lit (especially at the bottom). They do look very cheap IMO.

Dang it, I just got my machine delivered, after waiting more than a year after paying, and now I find out it's likely defective! Do I unbox it?
