Hello all - my first post here
I am a prepaid customer (I will never do it again)
I paid in 2014 and picked up my machine last week
I did try to sell it before as I was so sick of the waiting, bullshit, lack of information, no replies, also all the crap on forums like this one
Post #3660 is a very good summary
The machine is very well made and feels robust, with great attention to some parts; eg: wire labels, even a padlock supplied on the coin box
It was very well packed, but mine still had minor damage to the head box
It is a solid cabinet and the playfield moves out nicely
The art work does look good and feels like decent quality (only time will tell)
The side of the headbox looks good - I wish the EL panels we were shown were there
The game is very basic and the ball jams in a few places - top right and on the switches near the flipper - no big deal I will make something to prevent this from happening (that should have been picked up in testing)
I have limited space for my machines and can't see myself selling something to keep this one
The ramp is not great - but an improvement on the one at pinfest 2017 - I will modify the end of that as well
I don't know why all the fuss about the flipper buttons - you press them and the flippers work
The sound quality is good, but disjointed and the call outs seem random and sometimes repeat
The biggest disappointment for me is Mikes disregard for the prepaid people
Anyone can see he needed to sell machines (to new customers) to keep the business running, but he didn't have the balls to state that to us
He really needs a PR person - stick to building Mike
Overall it really is a good first effort and now he is setup to make more machines - maybe he will get some help with the next playfield design?
Anyone putting shit on the machine (and there are lots here) - show us what you have built...
