I read through this whole encyclopedia (look it up if you don't know what that is) of a thread.

I was looking for a downside to PPS doing this.

And gosh darn it, I couldn't find one. This is just a win for everyone.

Everyone making the game, everyone buying the game, and everyone building the game.

Well done! Hope the final product is great!

Quoted from mechslave:

The other question was whether or not Stern would be making the MMR harnesses? Seems like a good idea if they're doing the assembly, it won't be much different than running one of their own games, if at all.

I guess this is a valid question, but honestly, I would hope they would.

Why? Well, personally, any time I have worked on a Stern machine, and needed to remove an assembly (ramps in Monopoly, Avatar, Gimly VUK assembly in LOTR, entire safe assembly in Sopranos, etc...) they have all been both east to remove, and everything has plugs on it so nothing needs to be de-soldered in order to get the assembly out, and it can be removed with basic tools. My shop outs on Stern games have always been easier than Williams stuff because of this.

Granted my Bally and Williams stuff is older, but it's never that easy (to me).

I am wondering if everything on the new MM remake will be easily removable for service or if it would all be soldered direct.

I guess the point is moot to me since I won't be buying one, but might be helpful to those who are.

Quoted from rommy:

Dude, it's like anything collectible. Eventually there are collectors who prefer the original. Look at , well, Shelby Mustang for instance. Or Arcades. There are guys who prefer the original Defender cab to any sort of "multi game" new fangled things. Originals > Remakes. BBB is a good example. BBB by Capcom > BBB by IP > BBB by PPS made by Stern. On the other hand I LOVE the idea of getting a new MM . I just don't think long term it will fetch the same $$ as a WMS MM .

This is sound logic.

Quoted from btw75:

Played just fine for me. There was a time where that part of the room had significantly low voltage which affected everything in that area, but I never witnessed it.

This same thing used to happen when the Allentown show was at the Merchant's square location. Line voltage would drop and the flippers would be weak. I had countless complaints about my Black Knight at those shows, but yet it was fine when I got it home where the voltage was good.

Ivan has addressed and fixed this for the Allentown Show, but sounds like the TPF had the same situation.

I think it is great that the MMr team is allowing for something this, even if it never should happen again.
