Quoted from bigehrl:not to mention that the numbers on the volume knob look like the number buttons on a digital padlock.
Yeah they screwed up the whole knob... numbers look wrong, 11 in the middle instead of end of dial... Not giving much confidence. At least if they got the art right you could buy it, rip out the HP guts and homebrew your own, but they're not even getting the art right...
Quoted from TreyBo69:Also worth mentioning it's not uncommon for pinball conventions to have weak flippers in general because of the huge power draw at the facility. This isn't as noticeable on Sterns because they often test their games and mechs in low power conditions as part of their product testing.
This shouldn't be an issue on current games. The modern switching power supplies in them are very good at delivering the proper output voltages even when AC power is weaker than usual. I play Spike 2 games at shows and they play the same as in a home.
Quoted from TreyBo69:No, the weak flipper thing is true. Happens at a lot of pinball shows
On older games with linear power supplies. Switching power supplies don't sag. Spike2 games have no problems at shows.
