Elton John Hype Thread Post #4260 in topic
Posted 59 days ago by Insanity199 – in Jersey Jack Pinball ‐ Last reply today
lol Let me guess, Foo Fighters? hahaha Is that the one? See, I told you that you didn't have to guess! To get this back on topic, I am definitely interested in this pin but I also can't justify the price knowing that it will be available for less in the not so distant future. Been down that road with GodFather, which I really like. Would have liked it at a lower price though. Elton may not be mode based, but that can be refreshing in a collection of mode based games.

Hope CGC & Play Mechanics continue to make more titles like this in the future. Amen to that! This jump back to the true feel of classic pinball is a breath of fresh air. Considering how well the field test machines were received I'm sure used listings will not be terribly common at least in the near future. I will say with confidence that my LE will never willingly leave my collection once it arrives.

P3's on location Post #66 in topic
Posted 61 days ago by NicoVolta – in Multimorphic ‐ Last reply 4 days ago
The discontinuation of servos in all future modules is a smart decision. Reliability will improve a great deal. The scoops don't activate very often and those servos are relatively easy to replace, so that doesn't seem like a dealbreaker. We don't have a P3 anymore but I still like and support the platform. Might jump back in someday when the most wearable parts reach the point where they can take the punishment in an intense free play venue like ours.

Slow your roll there cowboy. This day and age pictures are free. In the future, whenever you take anything apart on an EM, take many pictures from all different angles. I know exactly what part you are referring to but it will be awhile until I can look at it. After you get the player unit back together, I believe your problem may exist in a switch on the score motor. I’ll have to look at the schematic.

Apologies for not updating the thread sooner. As some of you will already know, unfortunately Wade has had some family issues of late. That coupled with working through the various supply & product issues he's had with materials has set the playfield reproduction process back. Hopefully in the near future he will again be able to focus on playfield reproduction as his work is 2nd to none. He's keen to do Slick Chick as it's one of his favorite games.
