    Quoted from curban:

    So, I’m hosting my first pinball night for friends Ive been introduced to in the hobby. It’ll be the first time I have more than 4-5 machines going at same time.
    Any pointers?
    I have about fifteen machines in the room…how loud should I set volume? Does ~10 for WPC’s sound right? Normally we keep the volume cranked, but it’s distracting when wife and I are playing adjacent machines. Not sure what room will sound like with 15 machines going.
    Difficulty settings? Factory?

    Don't bother changing the rules nobody cares. As far as sound I'd set everything around 8. WPC games seem to get louder the longer they are on.

    Quoted from curban:

    I am worried about tripping breakers. I do have ten pins currently on one 20-amp breaker (all modern and fully-LED’d). I could run an extension cord to put three of them on a separate breaker….but I’ve been cautioned about line drop. Would that be a concern for modern sterns?
    For what it’s worth, I invited the neighborhood families and children over a couple of weeks ago to test the power supply and didn’t trip a breaker…so im hoping for the best.

    That seems like too many games to run on one breaker. I would run the extension cord.

    Did the question of what these things cost ever come up amongst the civilians?
