The real crime in the sticker is that it instructs you to lift the playfield 200 mega megas, which is really a tera - these are all prefixes with no unit of measurement specified.

Quoted from toyotaboy:I don't know why people get bent over american vs metric. Either is easily converted, and the only time I really have to convert anything is when I have to reverse engineer a part bigger than 6" (my caliper can switch back and forth) and I'm taking measurements with a standard tape measure (because our company is also on the metric system). In all honesty, we should probably have metric tape measures.
It's not the conversion that's the issue. It is the consistency that is the inner beauty of the SI system. As an example power is force by velocity, so if I take force in Newtons and velocity in meters per second then I get the answer directly in Watts. No special fudge factors needed, no odd things like 12 inches to a foot and so on. That's the real strength.
An imperial system equivalent for power is a foot pound force per second is 0.0018 horsepower, and we need different factors for just about every calculation.
Quoted from Pinball_Freak:Sorry don’t have these details. My info is coming off AA in Homepin special section, I’m pretty sure toads has access to this thread. Refer Andy’s posts and pics. I don’t have shipping as I already AF pin but I believe the last twelve are all going to Qld then dist. from there. Cheers
Good on you Pinball_Freak for spreading this info, transparency and openness is always best, but you'll find yourself in trouble with the Aussie Arcade boys club team of admin and moderators - they do like things kept secret and no one is allowed to disagree, question their judgement or voice contrary opinions. You will have been reported!
