I think the backglass looks sharp. The monitor offset doesn't bother me.

But...despite the fact that I'm seriously artistic ignorant, I think it would have been really neat to just grab the missing backglass art (where the monitor is at) and use the display to 'fill in' that missing artwork for when the high scores were shown (i.e. the orange track loop continues thru the display). Almost an illusion that makes the display disappear. Might be tough color matching tho.

I was actually going to mention that but didn't feel like typing.

Yep, part of the glass is the audience w/a curtain on the sides of the monitor opening. Then the curtain 'extends' onto the screen and open/closes during game play.

Exactly like that. I'll have to look that pin up - never heard of it.

I noticed that too, but thought it was rather odd. Only thing I could think of was they were trying to replicate the jumbo screens at the race tracks.

That is an improvement.

I went to the Cleveland show last year JUST to take OKT for a spin. Got one quick game one it but couldn't hear it, so I figured I go back later when the crowds thinned out and get some quality time on it. Went back...and it (the only one) had went to the seminar room. Crap. Came back in the early AM again to play...nope - in the women's tournament. Never had another chance to play. Haven't seen it in the wild since so I never bought.

Our Houdini is the wife's fav pin, and I still enjoy the daylights out of it. Too bad, missed opportunity.

On the bright side, got some Magic Glass from Dan and chatted w/Barry (alway fun).
