I'm late to the party, but joining the club with a Smaug Edition next weekend if all goes according to plan.

I don't have much of an opinion of the game yet, but one thing that stands out in my memory is the LOUD grinding sound of the drop targets resetting. I just watched the JJP live stream of the 3.0 code, and see that it's still very much present. I'm honestly surprised it made it through QC, I nearly had a heart attack the first couple times I heard it.

I've searched the threads and most people seem to just say yup, it's loud. *shrug*

I was hoping that since the prototype/early model that I first played, a software update might have changed the behavior of the bank reset to do a quick sequence of the individual target resets rather than the loud as hell, ratcheting of them all going up at once.

I'll be reading through the whole 140+ pages of this thread soon enough, but just wanted to see if there is any clever fix out for this, or if it's just something that everyone lives with.

I'm in the market for a rivet press to do this sort of work, any suggestions? I'm in Canada, but can wait on an online order...

Thanks for those suggestions!

I like the idea of a twisting clamp that I can use rather than having to pound a rivet. Not that it's not a fine option, I'd just worry about clumsily breaking a plastic or munching the rivet.

For the pintonka one, is 2 3/4" deep enough for most ramp flaps? I presume so, considering it's hailing itself as designed for pinball application...
