Light boards, lights, switches. All have functionality issues and all are proprietary. To me that means a lot do the game is not easy to fix, maintain, or replace. Huge risk if things don't make it at Heighway. It may become rare, but it may become a rare brick just like some of the full throttles out there have.

I owned the game two months and had LEDs and switches acting up. Parts were not available from Heighway or other sources as the inductive switches have custom mounting hardware. The game relies heavily on those boards, LEDs, and inductive sensors. To say that they are easily replaced I think is very misleading to a potential owner. On top of being hard to find switching it any of the switches or LEDs can require removing large sections under the playfield to access what may be problematic. Even then it's hard to say if issues are LED specific, board specific, connector specific, and a lack of manual of any sorts from Heighway was also problematic. Variation in time zones made customer service an issue in addition to them frequently telling me to check connectors or make sure a bulb or sensor was connected to board properly. I was also told by Heighway that some of the lighting issues could be electrical interference from wiring within the game.

My advice to anyone is wait it out.

Yes you're right and I'm not the one saying it, it was Heighway tech support and not me. I'm explaining exactly what happened on the machine in my possession previously. Hours and hours of footage of it being streamed where the problem is visible both before and after several attempts at Heighway's suggested fixes. The machine continued to have more and more issues arise the more it was played. Again just my experience on my former machine.

Also still waiting on all the spare sensors and LEDs and LED strip and Xenomorph mech and drop target mech I was promised multiple times to give to new owner. Not holding my breath but ideally new owners deliver like they have said.

Heighway Pinball team US was incredibly helpful with as much as they could be. The U.K. Side left much to be desired.
