thanks for sharing everything that you've been mike
while I won't say that I'm a fan of the theme (thunderbirds were never a huge hit here in the states), I will say that you are not only really passionate about your product, but you're also taking strides in the right direction in addressing many issues that some [other] manufacturers have (and continue to ignore
they say that competition breeds innovation, and you sir are doing some great things here 
Quoted from Homepin:Thanks for your comments. Note that Thunderbirds is Homepins FIRST pinball machine NOT the only one we will be making. Thunderbirds is targeted at countries OTHER than the USA although I can say I have had serious interest from the US about it.
Perhaps one of our machines that we produce in the future will be more to your liking?
Once we have made all of the parts and got everything up and running we will be able to work on different future machines.
if you keep up the level of perfection that you're striving for, I'm sure that you'll sell a lot of the thunderbirds machines (especially in england and europe). chances are you'll eventually release a theme that I'm interested in
I really do hope your company makes a huge splash with thunderbirds and proves that it can be done and done correctly
not that this is your motive, but I could also see you selling aftermarket parts to replace some of the inferior parts that we're currently suffering with on some of the machines made by [other] companies. your auto-plunger assembly looks to be engineered a lot better than what's currently available
Quoted from PinMonk:Stone is not a US unit of measure. Explain THAT British nonsense. At least as silly as a foot.
vic, that's an easy one
1 stone = 13 lbs. the british needed something to one-up us with regards to 1 foot = 12 inches. sort of like the spinal tap amplifiers going to 11, instead of 10 
now that this is settled, I want to see more of the cool mechanisms in thunderbirds. that pool retracting ball lock [unlock] is awesome
they say that innovation breeds competition. maybe mike's designs will cause the other companies to quit "phoning it in" and re-using old designs over and over again
