Quoted from KenLayton:And the Vari-Target patent expired many years ago.
Quoted from Homepin:Possibly - it would pop the GI fuse if that happened.
Or place GI voltage on the sling shot switch input or switch matrix. Hopefully, you have them at the same level.
So, No provision for 110VAC in? The US is not the only place that runs on something other than 220.
Like Gottlieb in the early days, a different part number / transformer will be required?
It would suck to have to saddle a new game with and external step up transformer.
Quoted from PinPatch:I didn't know prototype machines that aren't for sale are commercial items/usage...
But, he is using the prototypes to market machines ultimately produced for sale. Sounds commercial enough to me.
Quoted from spfxted:Whoa! Look how high up those back legs are...
Look how high the front legs are. If the front ones can be screwed in some more, they could take some length off the back ones.
With a license like Thunderbirds, wouldn't the game just "scream" full color animations? In other words, real footage from the series?
Perhaps its more about what the buying public expects of a 2018 game that will cost them $4K, $5K or $6K.
You forgot: Stopping another Chinese company from copying their product. Almost every manufacturer we deal with in China and Taiwan refuse to send us binary files when their microcontrollers die or require updating. Many of them farm Programming out too. And the programmers don't want their work pirated.
Some also use STC micros which usually can't be programmed by most "universal" programmers.
